A Small Robotic Step for the Therapeutic Treatment of Mental Illnesses

Abstract:

Advances in Psychological therapies to treat mental illness have found their peak in the search for new treatments, especially when they are combined with technology. Technology gives some hope of improvement in treatments and patients. The main purpose is generate positive emotions and in this way, not only learn but also manage to retain learning in order to be applied in concrete and real facts. In this work we show the viability in the development of routines that can help improve the quality of life of people suffering from Alzheimer and Autism, diseases that lend themselves to the programming of routines related to the daily life of patients. The assignment can be considered as impressive because working with a robot awakens positive emotions in those who are developing robotic therapies.
