Cognitively Assistive Robots at Home: Translating Clinical Interventions to Robots

Much research in healthcare robotics explores extending rehabilitative interventions to the home. However, for adults, little guidance exists on how to translate human‐delivered, clinic‐based interventions into robot‐delivered, home‐based ones to support longitudinal interaction. This is particularly problematic for neurorehabilitation, where adults with cognitive impairments require unique styles of interaction to avoid frustration or overstimulation.
