Abstract
Children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) have a need for social, cognitive and affective support for self-management. The PAL project develops a social robot and its avatar. The aim is to assist the child, health care professional and parents to jointly perform diabetes management. Diabetes camps are an important setting in which the PAL can support children with T1DM. The video 'Learning with Charlie' shows how different robot buddies and children interact in a camp setting and learn about T1DM through educative activities. Also, the robots offer socio-emotional support in a pleasurable and safe environment.
