repetitive nature of the exercise, that both groups of people are doing. we wanted to see how possible it would be to use a very similar robotic system to be able to motivate people to the two different sides of things. the idea is that the same principles could be applied to those recovering from strokes or similar conditions. let s see how it works. the game kind of replicates some cognitive rehabilitation tasks, using the tactile sensors on the robot are the head, the left and right hand and feet, so we can use a robot potentially to help engage and motivate individuals to engage with cognitive based tasks, so shall i get started? let s fire it up. pepper tells you a list of body parts to be remembered and touched on the right order to successfully complete the game. a sensor, attached to your arm, vibrates when you make a correct move, and cameras in pepper s eyes track your face and move pepper s head in the right direction for a more humanlike interaction. laughter go!
data to the robot. it has accelerometers measuring the linear acceleration of the racket through three dimensions and gyros which measure the rotations of the racket in three dimensions, because when you hit a shot you are moving the raquet quite fast and you or i cannot really track that, but the accelerometers that we have on here, send data about 1000 times a second, we check it and we process it, using some machine learning and some ai. there is a more serious side to this. sport is not the only area where humanoid robots in combination with motion sensor technology could bring value. we have been working with squash coaches and physiotherapists who went on one to one individual squash coaching sessions and physiotherapy sessions. there are so many similarities in terms of the individual,
right hand, head. that is correct, good! dammit! i hope you enjoyed playing. it has been prescribed by the physiotherapist that can go on to the pepper robot, i will report back to the physiotherapist how people are doing with the exercises are the physiotherapist is tracking how they are doing in between sessions, the physiotherapist said this is useful to them because it helps them to understand how their patient is performing exercises and really hone in on the correction that they can make when they come in for their physio. in these examples the robot
i ve already gone. dammit! i hope you enjoyed playing. it has been prescribed by the physiotherapist that can go on to the pepper robot, it will report back to the physiotherapist how people are doing with the exercises so the physio is tracking how they are doing in between sessions, the physiotherapist said this is useful to them because it helps them to understand how their patient is performing exercises and really hone in on the correction that they can make when they come in for their physio. in these examples the robot is only the means of delivering the information and data collected in a meaningful way, but in addition to human care and coaching robotics as a means of additional one to one interaction could change the way we learn, and recover, in future. see you next time! that was paul carter. how brilliant was that?
