Simut, Ramona, Pop, Cristina, Saldien, Jelle, Rusu, Alina, Pintea, Sebastian, Vanderfaeillie, Johan, David, Daniel and Vanderborght, Bram (2012): Is the social robot probo an added value for social story intervention for children with autism spectrum disorders?. In: Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction 2012. pp. 235-236.

“In this paper, we describe the first results of using the robot Probo as a facilitator in Social Story Intervention for children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Four preschoolers diagnosed with ASD participated in this research. For each of them, a specific social skill deficit was identified, like sharing toys, saying Thank you, saying Hello, and an individualized Social Story was developed. The stories were told by both the therapist and the robot in different intervention phases. Afterwards an experimental task was created where the child needed to exercise the ability targeted by the story. The results of this study showed that the participant needed a decreased level of prompt to perform the targeted behavior, when the story was told by the robot compared to the intervention with the human storyteller. Therefore, this preliminary study created great expectancies about the potential of Robot Assisted Therapy as an added value for ASD interventions.”

Looije, Rosemarijn, Arendsen, Jeroen, Saldien, Jelle, Vanderborght, Bram, Broekens, Joost and Neerincx, Mark (2010): Robots that care. In: Proceedings of the 2010 Annual European Conference on Cognitive Ergonomics 2010. pp. 301-302.

“Many countries face pressure on their health care systems. To alleviate this pressure, 'self care' and 'self monitoring' are often stimulated with the use of new assistive technologies. Social robotics is a research area where robotic technology is optimized for various social functions. One of these functions is self care assistance. To foster progress in this area of 'social robotics for self care', coordinated efforts between research institutes, companies and end users are needed. This workshop focuses on bringing these stakeholders together and creating a shared research agenda.”

Saldien, Jelle, Vanderborght, Bram and Lefeber, Dirk (2010): The social Robotplatform Probo. In: Proceedings of the 2010 Annual European Conference on Cognitive Ergonomics 2010. pp. 363-364.

“The past four years a unique robot platform 'Probo' is developed to study cognitive Human-Robot Interaction (HRI). The robot Probo (Saldien, 2009) is designed to act as a social interface, providing a natural interaction while employing human-like social cues and communication modalities. The robot has a fully actuated head, with 20 degrees of freedom, capable of showing facial expressions. Probo embodies a stuffed imaginary animal, providing a soft touch and a huggable appearance. A Robot Control Centre (RCC) enables the operator to control the robot in shared autonomy with the cognitive control of the robot. These cognitive control systems include the simulation of attention, homeostasis, emotional state and the generation of lifelike motions. This project aims to study HRI and Robotic Assisted Therapy (RAT) with a special focus on hospitalized children, a field with growing attention in the robotics community.”
