Assistive robots and systems for healthcare and rehabilitation
Aunque se trata de un congreso más enfocado a ingenieros e investigadores con grado de doctor el tema central es tan nuestro que deberíamos prestarle atención a los resultados de lo expuesto allí.
Assistive robots and systems for healthcare and rehabilitation
Trataré de subir al blog algunos vídeos y fotografías.
Insisito en que aunque esto parezca muy lejano para un clínico es un campo de futuro para nuestra especialidad que no debemos perder de vista si pretendemos seguir trabajando durante los próximos diez años.

| | Dr Adriana Tapus's research interests focus on human robot interaction, with the goal of transforming the future generation of socially assistive robotics. Her projects address robots in human-centered environments for assisting people in their daily activities with a focus on helping the post-stroke patients in their rehabilitation therapy. In a context requiring sufficiently complex robot cognitive capabilities permitting it to understand and to interact with the environment, to exhibit social behavior, and to focus its attention and communicate with people, her primary objective is to investigate how the embodied verbal and non-verbal interaction and the physical emotion will help robots to better assist and train the human users during their recommended activities. She develops assistive robotics technology aimed at providing affordable personalized cognitive assistance, motivation, and companionship to users suffering from cognitive changes related to aging and/or Alzheimer’s disease.
