“…Sensory stimuli has been shown to reduce agitation in dementia patients and can be operated without a caregiver present allowing greater independence [2,4,5,6,19,11]. Sensory stimuli that are useful for our purposes are typically visual or auditory in nature, although there are interactive options such as robots [17,18]. A fourth option is and audiovisual simulated presence video in which a recording is a one sided conversation with a patient [4].…”

“…Patients typically communicate with such robots and care for them, but the AIBO is still recognized as a robot. To remedy this difficulty, the robot was costumed, which aids patients to perceive the AIBO as either a dog or a baby, which results in an acceptable substitute for a real animal [17]. Another robot that has been used is a music robot that attempts to encourage and motivate interaction through a type button and song game.…”

Patients in the early stages of dementia are often subject to a variety of dangerous symptoms and behaviors including depression, wandering, and aggression. These conditions severely influence both quality of life and the degree of caretaker intervention that is necessary. Non-pharmacological interventions can alleviate these symptoms in some cases and are preferred as an alternative to medication when possible. This paper explores alternatives to the traditional definition of intervention, wherein the involvement of a caregiver is assumed, using a new modality wherein interventions are automatically instigated in response to conditions detected by physiological and behavioral measures. The environment is automatically manipulated in these methods in response to detected symptoms, intervening without the immediate assistance of a caregiver.

Socially assistive robots are increasingly being designed to interact with humans in various therapeutical scenarios. We believe that one useful scenario is providing exercise coaching for Persons with Dementia (PWD), which involves unique challenges related to memory and communication. We present a design for a robot that can seek to help a PWD to conduct exercises by recognizing behaviors and providing feedback, in an online, multimodal, and engaging way. Additionally, in line with a mid-fidelity prototyping approach, we report on some feedback from an exploratory user study using a Baxter robot, which provided some confirmation of the usefulness of the general scenario; furthermore, the results suggested the degree of a robot's feedback could be tailored to provide impressions of attentiveness or fun. Limitations and possibilities for future improvement are outlined, touching on deep learning and haptic feedback, toward informing next designs.

“…Suggested potential uses of socially assistive robots include encouraging post-stroke exercising and rehabilitation [183, 184] and supporting people with dementia [181, 185, 186, 187]. Small-scale trials have found that the robot did motivate exercise, though there were significant differences in responses.…”

Overcoming Barriers and Increasing Independence – Service Robots for Elderly and Disabled People

The paper discusses the potential of assistive service robots to support disabled and elderly people. It shows that they have considerable untapped potential in this area, but also that inappropriate implementations could increase isolation, reduce independence and lead to users feeling as though they are under surveillance. The main body of the paper presents an overview of existing applications and discusses their benefits and potential problems. This is organized by an extension of the common classification into socially and physically assistive robots by the two categories of sensory assistive and mixed assistance robots. Another more detailed classification is also presented. This discussion is introduced by an overview of many of the technological components of smart mobile robots. It is followed by a discussion of user acceptance. The problems of existing models based on either solely positive or solely negative factors are noted and a model containing both types of factors is proposed. The need for continuing research is noted and various proposals are made.
