(2016) : Investigation of appropriate response time for an animal type robot: 2016 25th IEEE International Symposium on Robot and Human Interactive Communication (RO-MAN): New York City, USA: IEEE, S. 331-334
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1109/ROMAN.2016.7745151 Abstract: Robot therapy, interaction with animal type robots, is expected to have psychological, physiological and social effects as well as animal therapy. However, design method for therapeutic robots is not examined enough yet. Especially, physical interaction (e.g. touch and hug) is key point of the robot; however appropriate behaviors are veiled. In this research, we tried to investigate when the robot should respond during physical interaction between human and robot.

(2013): Robotherapy with Dementia Patients. In: International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems 10 (1). DOI: 10.5772/54765
Abstract: Humanoids have increasingly become the focus of attention in robotics research in recent years, especially in service and personal assistance robotics. This paper presents the application developed for humanoid robots in the therapy of dementia patients as a cognitive stimulation tool. The behaviour of the robot during the therapy sessions is visually programmed in a session script that allows music to play, physical movements (dancing, exercises, etc.), speech synthesis and interaction with the human monitor. The application includes the control software on board the robot and some tools like the visual script generator or a monitor to supervise the robot behaviour during the sessions. The robot application's impact on the patient's health has been studied. Experiments with real patients have been performed in collaboration with a centre of research in neurodegenerative diseases. Initial results show a slight or mild improvement in neuropsychiatric symptoms over other traditional therapy methods.
