A Social Robot Assisting in Cognitive Stimulation Therapy

摘要

In recent years, the demand for caregivers and therapists has raised together with the life expectancy. Elder people demand adapted environments and specialized care that allows for an active ageing. In order to assist in their daily tasks, social robots appear as a complement to caregivers. In this demo we introduce a robot capable to conduct cognitive stimulation sessions, complementing the therapists or even conducting the sessions autonomously. This robot has been designed to work both at home and daycare facilities.
