Hello,
I am Felix
A buddy whom you can tell how you feel
Who is Felix?
Felix is a social robot that helps show your feelings to others.
So the people around you will better understand you.
Who is Felix for?
You can change Felix colour when you want. Every feeling has a colour. So if you're sad you colour Felix... and if you're happy you colour Felix...
It's nice to have a buddy who understands you!
​
Felix gets used by a lot of different target groups: young and old people with ASD, developmental language disorder, physical and mental disabilities, psychiatric problems, giftedness, depression, burn-out etc.
​
​
Do you often feel misunderstood or unseen?
Do you find it difficult to express how you feel?
Do you often withdraw in social situations?
Do you have trouble recognizing emotions?
Are you an introvert?
How does Felix work?
You can tell Felix how you feel, and Felix will send that to the online platform
How to use Felix?
When you turn Felix, he changes color and his eyes change. With that, he represents different moods or emotions. Press Felix to save this mood in a feeling calendar. You can see the input on our platform, and add notes if you want.
Experiences
Curious about how Felix is used in practice?
Youke | Youth care
We also really wanted to test Felix in youth care, and we were happy that Youke wanted to start it as an innovation project. Felix has been tested in a pilot and the experiences are very hopeful! See the video below.
Based on this pilot, we have continued in collaboration with Youke, and we are following it closely!
SSOE | Special Education
Together with the 'Stichting Speciaal Onderwijs & Expertisecentra' (SSOE) we have conducted research into the use of Felix in special needs education. The result is a methodology for (special needs) primary education. A manual and a workshop are now available for primary schools. Want to know more? Contact us or SSOE.
Sherpa | Autism Team
Together with the Autism Team of Sherpa Zorg, a project was carried out in outpatient care and in two group homes. The team states: "as a team we were able to learn from each other and develop a new intervention together."
And what do clients think about it? They can tell you best themselves! See below for a video made by a client himself.
