The project aims at optimizing a personalized human-robot interaction and tests its effectiveness in terms of a temporally flexible, situation-adapted and complementary support in the home care of people with dementia.
It comprises a robotic system that is linked to a psychosocial accompaniment of the users by specially trained companions. In this way, individualized functions can trigger activities that strengthen the self-efficacy of those affected and promote communication and participation, e.g. through social contacts. Targeted individual support also promotes communication between people with dementia and family caregivers.
