远程为患者提供康复护理的需求越来越大。长期的人口变化、保健提供者的地理短缺，以及现在的全球流行病，都助长了这一需求。网真为提供这种服务提供了一种选择。然而，仅使用视频和音频的远程呈现不能提供与面对面相同质量的交互。为了弥补这一差距，我们建议使用社交机器人增强远程呈现（SRAT）。我们构建了一个用于上肢康复的示范SRAT系统，该系统将一个具有头、身体、脸和手臂的人形附着在移动远程呈现系统上，作为一个独立的社会实体与患者和临床医生合作。人形机器人可以和病人一起玩游戏，演示活动。这些活动可以用来进行评估，以支持自我指导的康复和进行锻炼。在本文中，我们介绍了一个案例系列，其中有六名受试者完成了与机器人的互动，三名受试者以前曾患过中风，三名儿童受试者正在发育。受试者使用经典的远程呈现（CT）和SRAT进行了Simon Says活动和目标触摸活动。受试者能够有效地与社交机器人合作指导互动，6人中有5人评价SRAT优于CT。这项研究证明了SRAT的可行性和它的一些好处。
There is a growing need to deliver rehabilitation care to patients remotely. Long term demographic changes, geographic shortages of care providers, and now a global pandemic contribute to this need. Telepresence provides an option for delivering this care. However, telepresence using video and audio alone does not provide an interaction of the same quality as in-person. To bridge this gap, we propose the use of social robot augmented telepresence (SRAT). We have constructed a demonstration SRAT system for upper extremity rehab, in which a humanoid, with a head, body, face, and arms, is attached to a mobile telepresence system, to collaborate with the patient and clinicians as an independent social entity. The humanoid can play games with the patient and demonstrate activities. These activities could be used to perform assessments in support of self-directed rehab and to perform exercises.In this paper, we present a case series with six subjects who completed interactions with the robot, three subjects who have previously suffered a stroke and three pediatric subjects who are typically developing. Subjects performed a Simon Says activity and a target touch activity in person, using classical telepresence (CT), and using SRAT. Subjects were able to effectively work with the social robot guiding interactions and 5 of 6 rated SRAT better than CT. This study demonstrates the feasibility of SRAT and some of its benefits.
