Evaluation of Child-Robot Interaction with the NAOTherapist Platform in Pediatric Rehabilitation

Following a study involving over 120 children and rehabilitation sessions using the Inrobics platform, it was demonstrated that no human intervention is required during the session. Surveys conducted revealed that participants enjoyed playing with the robot, felt motivated, and engaged in the process. In fact, even when encountering difficulties in achieving a certain posture, they persisted and kept trying. Videos of pediatric patients included in the research show the significant effort exerted during the session, uninhibited behavior, and active commitment while interacting with the robot.

Using Robots to Promote Leg Movement Training in Infants

Early interactions have the potential to positively influence infants’ movement patterns. This work developed and validated a contactless interaction system between infants and assistive social robots using imitation in response to NAO robot movements. Out of the 12 participants, 9 learned leg movements using this technique. The infants appeared attentive and did not express discomfort. To our knowledge, this article addresses the first interaction of assistive social robots with infants.

An Assistive Social Robotics Platform for Upper Limb Rehabilitation. A Longitudinal Study with Pediatric Patients

A study that demonstrates that patients who participated in the program improved their motor skills after a four-month training compared to a conventional treatment where no improvements were detected. This result was particularly evident in patients who attended all their scheduled sessions. Relatives felt that patients performed the exercises better than before training with the robot.

Improvement in Upper Limb Fluidity and Efficiency in Pediatric Patients with Spinal Cord Injuries after Training with Robic, the Humanoid Robot

The outcomes following 10 sessions using the Inrobics platform with 10 patients with spinal cord injuries demonstrated that arm training contributes to enhancing motor learning of a specific task. Additionally, the study reveals a reduction in abrupt movements associated with upper limb motor control.
