Abstract

The paper focuses on the method and steps implementing a suite of rehabilitation exercises on an assistive robotic platform. The suite is based on extensive user needs identification procedures and consultation with medical and rehabilitation experts. For the design of the human-robot interaction (HRI) component of the platform, the user centered approach was adopted, which in this case employed a range of multimodal interaction facilities including a free user-robot dialogue, visual and speech signals.
