Modelling engagement in dementia through behaviour. Contribution for socially interactive robotics.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
In this paper, we present a novel tool to measure engagement in people with dementia playing board games and interacting with a social robot, Pleo. We carried out two studies to reach a comprehensive inventory of behaviours accounting for engagement ...

Feasibility of using sphero in rehabilitation of children with autism in social and communication skills.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
The majority of children with autism face difficulties in social interaction and communication skills. Consequently, in this paper we present a pilot study in which we explored the usability of Sphero as a rehabilitation tool for developing social an...

Introducing ZORA to Children with Severe Physical Disabilities.

Studies in health technology and informatics
The aim of the present study was to explore the potential of a ZORA-robot based intervention in rehabilitation and special education for children with (severe) physical disabilities from the professionals perspective. The qualitative results of this ...

Robots for Elderly Care: Their Level of Social Interactions and the Targeted End User.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Robots for older adults have a lot of potential. In order to create an overview of the developments in this area a systematic review of robots for older adults living independently was conducted. Robots were categorized based on their market readines...

Synchronization, TIGoRS, and Information Flow in Complex Systems: Dispositional Cellular Automata.

Nonlinear dynamics, psychology, and life sciences
Synchronization has a long history in physics where it refers to the phase matching of two identical oscillators. This notion has been extensively studied in physics as well as in biology, where it has been applied to such widely varying phenomena as...

Patient Centered Event Representation for the Treatment of Multifactorial Diseases: Current Progress and Challenges.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Events such as clinical interventions, adverse drug events are one of the basic semantic units in the clinical workflow and are the foundation of the pathway representation. Current research has mainly concentrated on event recognition through concep...

Brief Report: A Pilot Summer Robotics Camp to Reduce Social Anxiety and Improve Social/Vocational Skills in Adolescents with ASD.

Journal of autism and developmental disorders
This pilot study evaluated a novel intervention designed to reduce social anxiety and improve social/vocational skills for adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The intervention utilized a shared interest in robotics among participants to ...

The entropic basis of collective behaviour.

Journal of the Royal Society, Interface
We identify a unique viewpoint on the collective behaviour of intelligent agents. We first develop a highly general abstract model for the possible future lives these agents may encounter as a result of their decisions. In the context of these possib...
