The robot quickly learned how each individual reacted and was very effective in understanding intention and mimicking movements. The patients all said interacting with the robot was a motivational experience.
We know that sustained, repetitive exercises are crucial for recovery after a stroke or brain injury, but without supervision it can be challenging for survivors to stay motivated.
The hope is that we can organise trials in Scottish hospitals to further develop and improve this technology for rehabilitation.
This project developed a system in which a socially assistive robot communicates with patients using a headset that monitors brain signals.
