Bad eating habits are harmful to health, resulting in obesity, indigestion and even jaw joint disorders. The correct way of eating needs to be developed from an early age, but the current teaching method of children's eating habits in kindergarten is not uniform and systematic since it's mostly based on personal experience, which will lead to bad eating habits when children grow up, especially in the face of various life pressure and fast-paced lifestyle. Dr. Yummy is an educational robot for children's eating habits in early childhood. Dr. Yummy provides guidance on the correct eating way for children by giving a demonstration and the reward system. Kindergarten teachers can add targeted tracking training based on the results and recommendations provided by the Yummy App to develop proper eating habits.
