The social assistant robot (SAR) has a more human like interaction mode. It can effectively encourage MCI patients to actively participate in repeated cognitive training and enhance their social confidence by displaying a series of human like, multimodal emotional expressions and body language. This study constructed a research framework for SAR based intervention in MIC patients, designed a more persuasive and interventional cognitive training program, and implemented it on NAO robot, a representative model of SAR. By comparing the effectiveness of this training cognitive program before and after use in MIC patients, we can verify whether NAO robot based cognitive training interactive games have application value. The results show that SRA is reasonable and effective in cognitive training intervention for MIC patients, which is expected to provide different levels of cognitive intervention services for mild cognitive impairment patients.

摘要

The social assistant robot (SAR) has a more human like interaction mode. It can effectively encourage MCI patients to actively participate in repeated cognitive training and enhance their social confidence by displaying a series of human like, multimodal emotional expressions and body language. This study constructed a research framework for SAR based intervention in MIC patients, designed a more persuasive and interventional cognitive training program, and implemented it on NAO robot, a representative model of SAR. By comparing the effectiveness of this training cognitive program before and after use in MIC patients, we can verify whether NAO robot based cognitive training interactive games have application value. The results show that SRA is reasonable and effective in cognitive training intervention for MIC patients, which is expected to provide different levels of cognitive intervention services for mild cognitive impairment patients.
