In the researchers' words
The purpose of this study is to determine whether robotic assistance can help facilitate adherence, engagement, and weight loss in participants enrolled in a behavioral weight loss program. All participants will be enrolled in the same Web-based weight loss program and take part in "robotic assistance sessions" either early or late in the five-week study. These robotic assistance sessions involve speaking one on one with a robot about diet-related progress.
