摘要: Recent research demonstrated the benefits of employing robots as therapeutic assistants and caregivers, but very little is known on use a tool for psychological assessment. Socially capable can provide many advantages to diagnostic practice: engage people, guarantee standardized administration assessor neutrality, perform automatic recording subject behaviors further analysis by practitioners. In this paper, we present pilot study testing people’s cognitive functioning via social interaction with humanoid robot. To end, programmed robot administer psychometric detecting Mild Cognitive Impairment, risk factor dementia, implementing first prototype robotic assistant mass screening elderly population. Finally, test procedure healthy adults that show promising results test, also compared its traditional paper version.
