" Socially Pertinent Robot in Gerontological Healthcare "

Summary

The SPRING project intends to develop a social assistance robot, called ARI, capable of interacting with several users (patients, families) in noisy and busy hospital environments to inform, guide and entertain them and to support care workers in these environments. The AP-HP researchers participating in the SPRING project wish to evaluate human-robot interactions in a day care hospital and in particular the acceptability and the uses of the robot.
