The research of a socially assistive robot has a potential to augment and assist physical therapy sessions for patients with neurological and musculoskeletal problems (e.g. stroke). During a physical therapy session, generating personalized feedback is critical to improve patients engagement. However, prior work on socially assistive robotics for physical therapy has mainly utilized pre-defined corrective feedback even if patients have various physical and functional abilities. This paper presents an interactive approach of a socially assistive robot that can dynamically select kinematic features of assessment on individual patients exercises to predict the quality of motion and provide patient-specific corrective feedback for personalized interaction of a robot exercise coach.

The work presented in this paper aims to explore how, and to what extent, an adaptive robotic coach has the potential to provide extra motivation to adhere to long-term rehabilitation and help fill the coaching gap which occurs during repetitive solo
practice in high performance sport. Adapting the behavior of a social robot to a specific user, using reinforcement learning (RL), could be a way of increasing adherence to an exercise routine in both domains. The requirements gathering phase is underway and is presented in this paper along with the rationale of using RL in this context.
We present a Research-through-Design case study of the design and development of an intimate-space tangible device perhaps best understood as a socially assistive robot, aimed at scaffolding childrens efforts at emotional regulation. This case study
covers the initial research device development, as well as knowledge transfer to a product development company towards translating the research into a workable commercial product that could also serve as a robust research product for field trials. Key contributions to the literature include: 1. sharing of lessons learned from the knowledge transfer process that can be useful to others interested in developing robust products, whether commercial or research, that preserve design values, while allowing for large scale deployment and research; 2. articulation of a design space in HCI/HRI--Human Robot Interaction--of intimate space socially assistive robots, with the current artifact as a central exemplar, contextualized alongside other related HRI artifacts.
This work describes a new human-in-the-loop (HitL) assistive grasping system for individuals with varying levels of physical capabilities. We investigated the feasibility of using four potential input devices with our assistive grasping system interf
ace, using able-bodied individuals to define a set of quantitative metrics that could be used to assess an assistive grasping system. We then took these measurements and created a generalized benchmark for evaluating the effectiveness of any arbitrary input device into a HitL grasping system. The four input devices were a mouse, a speech recognition device, an assistive switch, and a novel sEMG device developed by our group that was connected either to the forearm or behind the ear of the subject. These preliminary results provide insight into how different interface devices perform for generalized assistive grasping tasks and also highlight the potential of sEMG based control for severely disabled individuals.
Rehabilitation assessment is critical to determine an adequate intervention for a patient. However, the current practices of assessment mainly rely on therapists experience, and assessment is infrequently executed due to the limited availability of a
therapist. In this paper, we identified the needs of therapists to assess patients functional abilities (e.g. alternative perspective on assessment with quantitative information on patients exercise motions). As a result, we developed an intelligent decision support system that can identify salient features of assessment using reinforcement learning to assess the quality of motion and summarize patient specific analysis. We evaluated this system with seven therapists using the dataset from 15 patient performing three exercises. The evaluation demonstrates that our system is preferred over a traditional system without analysis while presenting more useful information and significantly increasing the agreement over therapists evaluation from 0.6600 to 0.7108 F1-scores ($p <0.05$). We discuss the importance of presenting contextually relevant and salient information and adaptation to develop a human and machine collaborative decision making system.
Virtual companions that interact with users in a socially complex environment require a wide range of social skills. Displaying curiosity is simultaneously a factor to improve a companions believability and to unobtrusively affect the users activitie
s over time. Curiosity represents a drive to know new things. It is a major driving force for engaging learners in active learning. Existing research work pays little attention in curiosity. In this paper, we enrich the social skills of a virtual companion by infusing curiosity into its mental model. A curious companion residing in a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) to stimulate users curiosity is proposed. The curious companion model is developed based on multidisciplinary considerations. The effectiveness of the curious companion is demonstrated by a preliminary field study.
