近年来，对机器人辅助治疗（RAT）的关注稳步增长，特别是对痴呆症患者。然而，使用类人机器人进行轻度认知障碍（MCI）患者的康复实践仍然是一种新的方法，其依从机制、适应症和结果尚不清楚。有效的计算代表了广泛的技术机会，可以利用情感来改善人机交互。因此，本研究探讨了一个系统自动解码面部表情的有效性，该系统记录了一个机器人辅助记忆训练的视频，持续了两个月，涉及21名参与者。我们探索了机器人吸引参与者参与干预的潜力及其对他们情绪状态的影响。我们的分析表明，该系统能够识别机器人辅助小组治疗过程中处理部分遮挡面部的面部表情。结果表明，该软件具有可靠的面部表情识别能力，为人机交互（HRI）中涉及的因素提供了新的证据基础。使用人形机器人作为调解工具似乎促进了参与者对培训计划的参与。我们的发现显示了女性的积极情绪反应。任务对情感投入的影响是不同的。进一步的研究应该调查训练的组成部分和机器人的反应能力。
The attention towards robot-assisted therapies (RAT) had grown steadily in recent years particularly for patients with dementia. However, rehabilitation practice using humanoid robots for individuals with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is still a novel method for which the adherence mechanisms, indications and outcomes remain unclear. An effective computing represents a wide range of technological opportunities towards the employment of emotions to improve human-computer interaction. Therefore, the present study addresses the effectiveness of a system in automatically decode facial expression from video-recorded sessions of a robot-assisted memory training lasted two months involving twenty-one participants. We explored the robot’s potential to engage participants in the intervention and its effects on their emotional state. Our analysis revealed that the system is able to recognize facial expressions from robot-assisted group therapy sessions handling partially occluded faces. Results indicated reliable facial expressiveness recognition for the proposed software adding new evidence base to factors involved in Human-Robot Interaction (HRI). The use of a humanoid robot as a mediating tool appeared to promote the engagement of participants in the training program. Our findings showed positive emotional responses for females. Tasks affects differentially affective involvement. Further studies should investigate the training components and robot responsiveness.
