Robot Assisted Therapy

Robot-assisted therapy (RAT) utilizes robots to deliver therapeutic interventions, primarily focusing on improving cognitive function in elderly individuals with mild cognitive impairment and assisting children with autism spectrum disorder. Current research emphasizes developing robots capable of personalized interactions, adapting their behavior based on real-time analysis of patient responses and employing machine learning techniques like LSTM networks and Q-learning to model and predict optimal therapeutic strategies. This field holds significant promise for enhancing therapeutic effectiveness and reducing therapist workload, particularly in areas with limited access to specialized care.
