使用社交机器人增强临场感的远程神经运动康复交互的可行性和可接受性：案例研究
Feasibility and Acceptability of Remote Neuromotor Rehabilitation Interactions Using Social Robot Augmented Telepresence: A Case Study
摘要：
越来越需要远程向患者提供康复护理。长期的人口变化、护理提供者的地理短缺以及现在的全球流行病都促成了这一需求。网真为提供这种护理提供了一种选择。然而，单独使用视频和音频的远程呈现不能提供与面对面相同质量的交互。为了弥合这一差距，我们提出使用社会机器人增强临场感（SRAT）。我们已经构建了一个示范SRAT系统上肢康复，其中一个人形，头部，身体，面部和手臂，连接到一个移动远程呈现系统，与病人和临床医生作为一个独立的社会实体。人形机器人可以和病人一起玩游戏并演示活动。这些活动既可以用来进行评估，以支持自我指导的康复，也可以用来进行锻炼。在本文中，我们提出了一个案例系列，其中六名受试者完成了与机器人的互动，三名受试者以前患有中风，三名儿童受试者通常正在发展。受试者进行了西蒙说的活动和目标触摸活动的人，使用经典的远程呈现（CT），并使用SRAT。受试者能够有效地与社交机器人指导互动合作，6名受试者中有5名认为SRAT优于CT。这项研究证明了SRAT的可行性和它的一些好处。
英文摘要：
There is a growing need to deliver rehabilitation care to patients remotely. Long term demographic changes, geographic shortages of care providers, and now a global pandemic contribute to this need. Telepresence provides an option for delivering this care. However, telepresence using video and audio alone does not provide an interaction of the same quality as in-person. To bridge this gap, we propose the use of social robot augmented telepresence (SRAT). We have constructed a demonstration SRAT system for upper extremity rehab, in which a humanoid, with a head, body, face, and arms, is attached to a mobile telepresence system, to collaborate with the patient and clinicians as an independent social entity. The humanoid can play games with the patient and demonstrate activities.These activities could be used both to perform assessments in support of self-directed rehab and to perform exercises. In this paper, we present a case series with six subjects who completed interactions with the robot, three subjects who have previously suffered a stroke and three pediatric subjects who are typically developing. Subjects performed a Simon Says activity and a target touch activity in person, using classical telepresence (CT), and using SRAT. Subjects were able to effectively work with the social robot guiding interactions and 5 of 6 rated SRAT better than CT. This study demonstrates the feasibility of SRAT and some of its benefits.
