Learning-Based Personalisation of Robot Behaviour for Robot-Assisted Therapy [PDF]
Frontiers in Robotics and AIDuring robot-assisted therapy, a robot typically needs to be partially or fully controlled by therapists, for instance using a Wizard-of-Oz protocol; this makes therapeutic sessions tedious to conduct, as therapists cannot fully focus on the interaction with the person under therapy. In this work, we develop a learning-based behaviour model that can be
