Title:<\/strong> User Profiling and Behaviour Adaptation for Socially Assistive Robotics: the case of the UPA4SAR project
\nSpeaker:<\/strong> Dr Silvia Rossi – Dipartimento di Ingegneria Elettrica e Tecnologie dell\u2019Informazione (DIETI), University of Naples Federico II, Italy

\nHosted by:<\/strong> Dr Alessandro Di Nuovo<\/a>, Sheffield Hallam University<\/a><\/p>\n

Abstract:<\/strong>
\nThe goal of the UPA4SAR project is to design an adaptive behaviour of a robotic system that is in charge of monitoring the user’s Activity of Daily Living (ADL) in the case of people with dementia. In our opinion, the robot presence, in order to be effective and well accepted by users, must be the least invasive as possible. In fact, an interactive robotic device whose behaviour is unrelated to the specific needs of a person, his\/her abilities and preferences can cause discomfort. The majority of the robotic applications are based on static user models and on the specification of all the possible contexts of interaction. This makes such systems incapable of adapting independently and proactively to changes in the needs and preferences of users. In this direction, our goal is to design an adaptive behaviour of the robotic system that is able to regulate its social interaction parameters (e.g., the interaction distances, proxemics, the speed of movements, and the same modality of interaction) on the basis of personality factors as well as of the cognitive state of the user.<\/p>\n

The talk will provide an overview on the project focusing on how obtaining a profile of the user and, consequently, the robot behaviour adaptation at different levels of abstraction starting from the physical level toward more cognitive and social aspect on the interaction.<\/p>\n
