Rehabilitation applications using brain inspired cognitive architecture for humanoid robots

Abstract

In this paper, interaction between humans and robots and for rehabilitation applications in social areas is investigated. People suffering from some disorders require better nursing service for interacting socially. Additionally, utilizing human-robot interaction (HRI), this proposed architecture may be a suitable resolution for problems related to optimizing the focusing and sustaining attention states of children with Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). In the near future, it is expected that humanoid robots will have more interactive skills in social regions.
