This paper presents results of user evaluations with a socially assistive robot companion for older people suffering from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and living (alone) at home. Within the European FP7 project "CompanionAble" (2008-2012) [1], we developed technologies combining mobile smart environment aim to support these assist them in their familiar home environment. For final evaluation, experience studies were conducted volunteer users who invited test where they lived freely used...
The aim of this study was to increase knowledge on therapy and educational objectives professionals work with children autism spectrum disorder (ASD) identify corresponding state the art robots. Focus group sessions (n = 9) ASD 53) from nine organisations were carried out create an overview, followed by a systematic literature robots matching these objectives. Professionals identified many 74) in 9 different domains. State addressed 24 8 Robots can potentially be applied large scope for ASD....
The aim of this study was to gain insight into how robots can be practically implemented current education and therapy interventions for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This qualitative included focus groups co-creation sessions. 73 Participants (professionals adults ASD) took part in 13 elicit requirements robot assisted interventions. Additionally, 22 participants (professionals, parents ASD generated ideas using KASPAR three resulted in: an overview concerning the robot,...
This paper presents results of the development a socially assistive home robot companion for older people suffering from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and living (alone) at home. work was part European FP7 project "CompanionAble" (2008-2012) [1] which aimed developing technologies that can support these elderly help them to remain in their familiar environment as long possible. To overcome current market entry barriers, start we consistently adopted user- application-centered process...
<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> Labor shortages in healthcare pose significant challenges to sustaining high-quality care for people with intellectual disabilities (PwID). Social robots show promise supporting both PwID and their professionals, yet few are fully developed embedded productive environments. Implementation of such technologies is inherently complex, requiring careful examination facilitators barriers influencing sustained use. </sec> <title>OBJECTIVE</title> This research aims...
This article reports findings from a usability and user experience evaluations conducted in the last 2 years of 4-year assistive robotics research project using Kompai robot. It focuses on that were with older adults an assisted living studio United Kingdom (which was arranged as open plan apartment), UK residential care home, couple's own home Netherlands over days. examines emergent adaptive human behaviour human-robot interaction (HRI) to consider whether we are approaching embodiment...
Robots are increasingly considered as a promising tool in therapeutic and educational interventions for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). International literature indicates that robots can potentially be applied to wide range of objectives. The aim this article is present an overview currently used therapy ASD indicate what objectives they address. Focus group sessions (N=9) professionals (N=53) from nine organisations were conducted which identified potential ASD. A systematic...
