This project is available in german and english, with an additional possibility of continuation in german, in case the same exercise is done multiple times with the same group.
The 4-7-8 breathing exercise is a more in-depth breathing exercise, in which the participants are asked
to breathe in a specific rhythm. For example they have to inhale four seconds, holding the breath for seven
seconds and exhaling for eight seconds. Accordingly, it is more appropriate for bigger breaks or more intense
relaxation sessions. NAO guides the participants all the way through and signals each phase verbally while
moving his limbs and changing his eye colour.
After a short introduction, NAO asks for a starting input which can be given either verbally or by pressing
one of NAOs foot bumpers. The exercise begins and lasts for four cycles. In the english version, the user has
the option to repeat the exercise for another three cycles.
You only need your NAO robot.
We currently have no plans to further develop the program.
