Real-time paediatric neurorehabilitation system

摘要

This paper presents the development process of real-time neurorehabilitation system for paediatric using autonomous humanoid robot NAO and Microsoft Kinect Motion Sensor. This neurorehabilitation system enables paediatric patients to undergo rehabilitation session anywhere with capable Internet access. Humanoid robot NAO and paediatric patients are able to imitate each other aided by Microsoft Kinect Motion Sensor for skeletal tracking movement. Required data from rehabilitation system are then uploaded to cloud server corresponding to the patient's identification. Those stored data can be accessed via monitoring website by the acknowledged therapists and psychologists. They can view the rehabilitation results and do the analysis remotely as the rehabilitation session can be done anytime without the presence of therapists and psychologists.
