Social robots for engagement in rehabilitative therapies: Design implications from a study with therapists (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Design implications from a study with therapists. Paper presented at 2018 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction, Chicago, IL, USA

In this paper we present the results of a qualitative study with therapists to inform social robotics and human robot interaction (HRI) for engagement in rehabilitative therapies. Our results add to growing evidence that socially assistive robots (SA... Read More about Social robots for engagement in rehabilitative therapies: Design implications from a study with therapists.
