| Abstract |
Humanoids have increasingly become the focus of
attention in robotics research in recent years, especially in
service and personal assistance robotics. This paper presents
the application developed for humanoid robots in the
therapy of dementia patients as a cognitive stimulation tool.
The behaviour of the robot during the therapy sessions is
visually programmed in a session script that allows music to
play, physical movements (dancing, exercises, etc.), speech
synthesis and interaction with the human monitor. The
application includes the control software on board the robot
and some tools like the visual script generator or a monitor
to supervise the robot behaviour during the sessions. The
robot applicationʹs impact on the patientʹs health has been
studied. Experiments with real patients have been
performed in collaboration with a centre of research in
neurodegenerative diseases. Initial results show a slight or
mild improvement in neuropsychiatric symptoms over other
traditional therapy methods. |
