“…It is worth mentioning that although this paper is mainly focused on the loop of interaction between the robot and the patient, in the general approach we rely heavily on the caregiver input (what we call the first loop of interaction) [4]. Thus, the presented work has been designed taking into account that caregivers and patients with dementia agree in receiving assistance from a robot [2]. To this end, we build a robot system from specific caregivers' need: provide more effective cognitive therapies in terms of quality and quantity.…”

Introduction. Every 3 seconds someone develops dementia worldwide. Brain-training exercises, preferably involving also physical activity, have shown their potential to monitor and improve the brain function of people affected by Alzheimer Disease (AD) or Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). Objectives. This paper presents a cognitive robotic system designed to assist mild dementia patients during brain-training sessions of sorting tokens, an exercise inspired by the Syndrom KurzTest neuropsychological test (SKT). Methods. The system is able to perceive, learn and adapt to the user's behaviour and is composed of two main modules. The adaptive module based on representing the human-robot interaction as a planning problem, that can adapt to the user performance offering different encouragement and recommendation actions using both verbal and gesture communication in order to minimize the time spent to solve the exercise. As safety is a very important issue, the cognitive system is enriched with a safety module that monitors the possibility of physical contact and reacts accordingly. Results. The cognitive system is presented as well as its embodiment in a real robot. Simulated experiments are performed to i) evaluate the adaptability of
