Abstract

In this paper, we present a new social intelligent robotic system used for cognitive stimulation therapy for individuals suffering from Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and/or Alzheimer's disease. Our work aims increasing the cognitive attention of users by playing different games and therefore help slow down cognitive decline. The system records the users' task performance during the games and adapts the different levels of difficulty as a function of the users' game history. The games were tailored to the needs of each individual so as to address their different cognitive disabilities. Two studies are presented.
