Sensors in the care of persons with visual- or visual-and-intellectual disabilities: Use, needs, practical issues, and ethical concerns

“…The use of robots was also mentioned. It could be interesting to study the role of robots in entertainment and exercise, as well as in improving psychological wellbeing, as in the explorative study by De Groot et al [19]. Several pilot studies evaluating the efficacy of specific sensor applications for the care of persons with visual-or visual-and-intellectual disabilities could be carried out based of the results of this study.…”

Tell me more! Assessing interactions with social robots from speech

“…ref. [20,[54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69]); however, evidence is limited regarding how people's subjective perceptions of self-disclosure align with objective measures of self-disclosure. Here we evaluate both people's perceptions and their actual disclosures across three experiments.…”

Robot‐mediated therapy to reduce worrying in persons with visual and intellectual disabilities

“…The results of a previous pilot study confirmed that clients with visual and intellectual disabilities had positive initial responses to the robot, were able to engage in a meaningful conversation with the robot, and enjoyed the interaction (De Groot, Barakova, Lourens, van Wingerden, & Sterkenburg, 2019 How do persons with visual and intellectual disabilities experience therapy sessions with a robot? Can the robot assist in teaching persons with visual and intellectual disabilities useful coping strategies to reduce worrying? Does the robot elicit empathy and emotion‐related responses from the participants? …”
