Collaborative Robots in Rehabilitation for Social Self-Management of Health

This paper reports the design plan of a social rehabilitation robot for optimizing social self-management of health. Managing health with physically and stigmatizing disabling conditions involves managing both physical and social daily functioning. The robot will use artificial moral emotions that trigger actions that mirror health care ethical behavior to preserve therapeutic relationships and empower social participation in people with Parkinson’s disease.
