论文摘要
我们提出了一个正在进行的项目，旨在开发一个社交机器人，以帮助儿童在临床环境中应对痛苦而痛苦的医疗程序。我们的方法将自动化计划用作行动选择的核心组成部分，以生成计划，包括物理，感官和社交行为，以供机器人与人交互时使用。我们系统的关键能力是机器人的行为根据儿童患者的情感状态适应。机器人必须在具有挑战性的身体和社会环境中运作，与孩子，父母/照顾者和医疗保健专业人员进行适当且安全的互动至关重要。在本文中，我们介绍系统，检查场景的一些关键挑战，并描述系统如何解决这些方案。
We present an ongoing project that aims to develop a social robot to help children cope with painful and distressing medical procedures in a clinical setting. Our approach uses automated planning as a core component for action selection in order to generate plans that include physical, sensory, and social actions for the robot to use when interacting with humans. A key capability of our system is that the robot's behaviour adapts based on the affective state of the child patient. The robot must operate in a challenging physical and social environment where appropriate and safe interaction with children, parents/caregivers, and healthcare professionals is crucial. In this paper, we present our system, examine some of the key challenges of the scenario, and describe how they are addressed by our system.
