Description
Summary:Humanoids have potential in the augmentation of rehabilitation programme for children with cerebral palsy. To make the humanoid programme applicable and clinically compliant, correct interactive scenarios had to be developed. Development of Human Robot Interaction (HRI) scenario is the main focus of this study. Through discussions with clinicians and therapists, four interactive scenarios have been formulated. The researchers have designed and developed the interactive scenarios concerning the suitability of measuring items in the Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) that is suitable to be applied by humanoid robot NAO. Choregraphe software, a programming tool that allows programmer to create and compile the behavior of the robot was used in this study. Choregraphe Suite is a multi-platform desktop application, to create animations, behaviors and dialogs. The developed interactive scenario had undergone a face validity process. This method of validation is used to confirm through peer reviews that the content of the interactive scenario is suitable to be used for children with cerebral palsy. Thirty peer reviewers, made up by a group of physiotherapists and occupational therapists validated the suitability of the interactive scenario. The result of the validation will be explained in this paper.
