How Do Diabetic Children React On A Social Robot During Multiple Sessions In A Hospital?

摘要

In the European project ALIZ-e, many aspects of social robot interaction were evaluated, mainly with healthy children. In this paper, we take the lessons learned and apply them in a field experiment with diabetic children. The observations showed that a robot requesting help added to the bonding, that the children with diabetes acquired relevant knowledge, seemed to appreciate the robot more than the healthy children in earlier experiments and showed to have different profiles between them that set requirements for personalization.
