Abstract

This paper presents Philos, a socially interactive robot designed for use in homes of those who need continual care, such as the elderly or people with disabilities. Philos is capable of daily health monitoring achieved by a wearable health monitoring device (WHMD) as well as emotional stimulation through human-robot social interactions (HRSI). This system also includes PhiloManager, a software interface for robot programming and data display. HRSIs are enabled through touch- and vision-based inputs. A behavioral framework has been developed so that Philos can be customized to exhibit a variety of behavioral characteristics and therefore achieve realistic and dynamic interactions.
