“…However, when the client touched what looked and felt like a tennis racket, they were able to stand up and play Wii Tennis because they were prompted with a personally meaningful embodied cue. This finding implies the potential of including embodied cues in virtual environments (as in [63]), but specifically to facilitate exercise and movement for people with dementia and mild cognitive impairment (as in [33,77,123,124,126]). This finding also points to the potential for designing Internet of Things environments, providing embodied cues through a sense of touch with familiar objects that are interconnected with technical environments for use by people with dementia.…”

“…MemHolo, a mixed reality system, was developed as a cognitive training tool to practice short term and spatial memory for people with Alzheimer's disease [8]. One project, MobiAssist, targets both physical and cognitive capabilities of people with dementia through exergames [123][124][125][126]. Virtual reality has been used as a cognitive training tool for people with mild cognitive impairments to simulate typical daily activities [129].…”

Clinical researchers have identified sensory changes people with age-related cognitive changes, such as dementia and mild cognitive impairment, experience which are different from typical age-related sensory changes. Technology designers and researchers do not yet have an understanding of how these unique sensory changes affect technology use. This work begins to bridge the gap between the clinical knowledge of sensory changes and technology research and design through interviews with people with mild to moderate dementia, mild cognitive impairment, subjective cognitive decline, and healthcare professionals. This extended version of our ASSETS conference paper includes people with a range of age-related cognitive changes describing changes in vision, hearing, speech, dexterity, proprioception, and smell. We discuss each of these sensory changes and ways to leverage optimal modes of sensory interaction for accessible technology use with existing and emerging technologies. Finally, we discuss how accessible sensory stimulation may change across the spectrum of age-related cognitive changes.

“…We chose a playful task (a storytelling game) to empirically evaluate the extent to which a robot's physical embodiment may cause humans to attribute creative agency to a robot. The Story Cubes game offers a means to further assess the display of creativity in robots considering the applicability of this setup as entertainment and for the development of cognitive skills, spacial memory, decision making, and collaborative skills (Wu et al, 2012;Unbehaun et al, 2019).…”

Human–robot creative interactions: Exploring creativity in artificial agents using a storytelling game

et al. 2022

Creativity in social robots requires further attention in the interdisciplinary field of human–robot interaction (HRI). This study investigates the hypothesized connection between the perceived creative agency and the animacy of social robots. The goal of this work is to assess the relevance of robot movements in the attribution of creativity to robots. The results of this work inform the design of future human–robot creative interactions (HRCI). The study uses a storytelling game based on visual imagery inspired by the game “Story Cubes” to explore the perceived creative agency of social robots. This game is used to tell a classic story for children with an alternative ending. A 2 × 2 experiment was designed to compare two conditions: the robot telling the original version of the story and the robot plot twisting the end of the story. A Robotis Mini humanoid robot was used for the experiment, and we adapted the Short Scale of Creative Self (SSCS) to measure perceived creative agency in robots. We also used the Godspeed scale to explore different attributes of social robots in this setting. We did not obtain significant main effects of the robot movements or the story in the participants’ scores. However, we identified significant main effects of the robot movements in features of animacy, likeability, and perceived safety. This initial work encourages further studies experimenting with different robot embodiment and movements to evaluate the perceived creative agency in robots and inform the design of future robots that participate in creative interactions.
