By developing an affordable mobile service robot for therapeutic activities in a health
center environment, this project addresses the issue of both the high cost and man-power
required to provide rehabilitation for stroke survivors and other patients. Our goal is to
measure users - clinician and patient - responses to a telepresence robot, VGo, that has
been modified with a humanoid torso robot, NAO, to facilitate remote communication between
the patient and clinician, and to complete supervisory exercise coaching.

This is a short demonstration and survey study. Clinical staff and patients will be gathered
together and our idea for the mobile service robot will discussed. A demonstration of the
telepresence feature of the robots and the NAO robot greeting and helping them with simple
exercises will follow (e.g., pick up and object that is handy and lift their hands over
their heads). The approximately 30-minute demonstration part of the study will start with an
introduction and explanation about the project and a short speech about the Rehabilitation
and Robotics Lab. After the demonstration the oral consent will be read and surveys will be
handed out to those study participants who agree to complete them; if necessary, the
research team will assist the study participant with the survey. Surveys will then be
collected, and the group will be thanked by the research team.
