During this study, you will be practising a health behaviour. The robot will encourage and ask you questions to help you reflect on why this behaviour is important to you.

Enviroment

• Quiet Location: The robot uses microphones to listen to your responses. Choose a quiet location to ensure it hears you clearly.
• Good network connection: The quality of your interaction will be dependent on the quality of the internet connection. Please check the router to ensure it has a strong signal.

Set up instructions

1. Turn on the WiFi router
   • Press and hold the power button until the indicator light turns on.
   • The white cable only provides power to the router; you can disconnect it and put it somewhere else that has a better reception.
2. Turn on the robot
   • Locate the power button on the top of the robot and press it. Wait for the robot to boot up.
3. Power on the Raspberry Pi
   • Plug the Raspberry Pi into a power outlet. It should start automatically.
4. Confirm startup
   • The program should run automatically.
   • If it does not, restart the Raspberry Pi by pressing the power button.
   • If a dialogue box appears asking to restore a page, simply exit it.

Daily Interaction Schedule

Morning Session – Reminder & Encouragement

• The robot will leave its docking station to remind you about your healthy habits.
• It will provide motivation and encouragement.
• No action is required from you during this interaction.

Evening Session – Check-in

1. After completing your behaviour for the day, ‘Open’ the navigation menu and select ‘Check-in’.
2. Click the green ‘Start Check-In’ button at the bottom of the page.
3. The robot will leave its docking station and begin asking questions.
4. Respond verbally to each question.
5. Once all questions are answered, the robot will return to its docking station.

Troubleshooting & Tips

• If your responses are not understood, try speaking more clearly and in a quiet space.
• If your responses take a long time to acknowledge, check if the router has a strong internet connection.
• If the robot does not return to its charger, pick it up and manually place it back at the docking station.
