Abstract：
Cognitive disability strongly reduces people\'s autonomy in performing desired as well as daily activities. The use of Social Assistive Robots (SARs) for cognitive rehabilitation therapy for disabled people could be a valuable gateway for the residential facility of the future. In this work, we design and develop a SAR that can be used for cognitive therapy proposing music and game activities. The results confirm that participants were positively engaged during the proposed activities and satisfied by the robot, despite the low perception of its usability. Professional caregivers noticed and confirmed the high level of engagement and the positive acceptance of the robot within the session, suggesting future tasks for SAR. Clinical Relevance- The results suggest the potential use of SAR also with disabled people proposing cognitive games as a part of the cognitive rehabilitation program.
摘要：
认知障碍极大地降低了人们在执行所需和日常活动时的自主性。将社交辅助机器人（SARs）用于残疾人的认知康复治疗可能是未来住宅设施的宝贵门户。在这项工作中,我们设计并开发了一个SAR，可用于提出音乐和游戏活动的认知疗法。结果证实，参与者在拟议的活动中积极参与，并对机器人感到满意。尽管对其可用性的认识很低。专业护理人员注意到并确认了会议中机器人的高水平参与度和积极接受度，建议SAR的未来任务。临床相关性-结果表明，建议将认知游戏作为认知康复计划的一部分的残疾人也可能使用SAR。
