“…The elderly with early AD could benefit from robotic technology in terms of performing spiritual practices, which are believed to elevate their emotional wellbeing and aid their memory. This corresponds to (3) arguments on humans' recognition and responses to social robot's artificial emotions during human-robot interactions, as well as the considerable necessities for robots to participate in rehabilitation environments (4). The implementation of the design guide in the introduction of therapeutic robots for spiritual practices is seen as promising to successfully evoke positive emotions among the elderly with early AD.…”

Introduction: Researchers and technologists have been exploring ways to utilize robotic technology to aid elderly care and to increase their emotional wellbeing. Previous studies indicated that spirituality is a core factor for successful aging. Various research was done on therapeutic robots for the elderly with Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). However, little focus was given to emotions and spiritual elements perceived by different genders. Therefore, this research aims to explore spiritual therapeutic robot design elements based on the elderly’s emotional experience by different genders. Methods: The research firstly conducted expert interview involving 9 experts on elderly care, robotics, and spiritual practice; secondly, KJ Method involving 4 language, spiritual, elderly care, and robotic experts; and thirdly, qualitative and quantitative Kansei assessment (n=12) among the elderly with early AD to determine the conceptual design guide, spiritual emotion words, and finalize the design guide. Results: Two-Sample t-Test shows five of ten spiritual design elements have a p-value of 0.05, which indicates there is a 50-50 chance of a significant difference in spiritual emotional experience between male and female respondents. Further analysis shows differences in results from both genders, but shows similar scores for zikr, surah, and prayer. Conclusion: The results enabled the research to produce a gender-based design guide for therapeutic robots based on spiritual elements and emotions, to successfully evoke positive emotions among the elderly with early AD. The gender-focused design will further extend the effectiveness as it will fit the specific demands of each gender, thus effectively elevating their emotional wellbeing.

This paper embarks on the initial development of a telerehabilitation system in assistive therapy for children with disabilities. The goal is specifically for children with autism and cerebral palsy at various locations to gain access to robotic intervention. Ten learning modules targeting at specific therapy outcomes have been developed for this system. Here, this research proposes to link various stakeholders including engineers, parents, clinicians and therapists in a network that promotes robotic and telecommunication technology as a rehabilitation platform for children with disabilities. Field trials involving real users will be executed in the next phase of study.

this paper describes the identification of engagement measures during Human Robot Interaction (HRI) between a humanoid robot and children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) and its' experimental framework. This paper begins with an introduction to CP, HRI and Socially Assistive Robotic (SAR). The importance of engagement in HRI and suggested attention measurement of HRI will be discussed. The paper presents the framework of the experiment consists of experimental flowchart, experimental layout, and four interactive scenarios will be explained in detail. In this study, four children with CP will be exposed to humanoid robot NAO once a week for a period of 8 weeks. The experiment will be done at Clinical Training Center (CTC), Sungai Buloh, Selangor, Malaysia. Each children with CP who has been selected will undergo initial and exit assessment which consists of Gross Motor Functional Measurement (GMFM), Time Up and Go (TUG) and also Trail Making Test (TMT). The results of the final evaluation will be used as a comparison between pre-and post-program interaction between robot and children with CP. This experiment will be done in the near future.
