--- Wearable robots are designed to be worn on the human body. Taking advantage of their physical form, various applications for wearable robots are being considered. This study proposes a wearable robot worn on the abdomen and a new interaction with it. Our robot enables a variety of applications related to communication between the wearer and surrounding humans through visual and tactile feedback. The contributions of this research will be (1) the proposal of a novel wearable robot worn on the abdomen and (2) a new interaction with it.
