Exploration of a Robot-based Adaptive Cognitive Stimulation System for the Elderly

Published: 01 April 2020 Publication History

Abstract

We explore the viability of developing a robot to assist cognitive stimulation activities for early-stage dementia users within a day-care centre. Working with healthcare professionals, we have designed interactive sessions where the robot Pepper plays stimulation games according to three levels of cognitive complexity. The initial design has been tested with an end-user to evaluate the system as well as to gain insight on the necessary interaction cues that the robot should perform to actively engage potential users.
