Research Opportunities

PlaiPin is building the future of social robotics for the home — research-first, open-source, and designed to live where people actually live. We're looking for collaborators across disciplines.

Human-Robot Interaction

How do people form bonds with soft robots over weeks and months? Track interaction frequency, attachment patterns, and daily engagement.

Embodied AI

What happens when an AI agent has a physical body it can express through?

Social & Cultural Robotics

How do robots fit into homes, routines, and relationships?

Child Development & Education

Can a physical AI companion support learning differently than a screen?

If your research touches social robotics, embodied agents, or human-AI relationships, we want to hear from you. We offer hardware access, open-source tooling, and a platform built for experimentation.
