Abstract
In this work, we present a robot-assisted photo reminiscence system. Previously, we focused on the development of the question generation system through a social robot interface. Results showed that the proposed system was able to produce coherent, related and appropriate questions that would trigger the reminiscence process. In this study, using an iterative incremental model, based on feedback from the end-users (elderly and caregivers), we deployed an improved prototype robotic system on a senior center with elderly users and in a lab setting for independent living elderly. Results from our feasibility study show that participants proactively engage with the robot and find the prospect of reminiscence therapy both effective and enjoyable. ? 2021, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
