A Personalized and Platform-Independent Behavior Control System for Social Robots in Therapy: Development and Applications

摘要: Social robots have been proven beneficial in different types of healthcare interventions. An ongoing trend is to develop (semi-)autonomous socially assistive robotic systems context improve the level autonomy and reduce human workload. This paper presents a behavior control system for social therapies with focus on personalization platform-independence. architecture provides robot an ability behave as personable character, which behaviors are adapted user profiles responses during human–robot interaction. Robot designed at abstract levels can be transferred platforms. We adopt component-based software engineering approach implement our proposed allow replaceability reusability developed components. introduce three experimental scenarios validate usability system. Results show that potentially applicable robots. With approach, serve basic framework researchers customize expand their targeted applications.
