The Concept

SCOTTY is a humanoid robot, a companion for the patient ‘s play time during the rehabilitation path of him, able to interact with him vocally to read a book, choose a menu or inform him about the weather or his family visits

A Future Trainer

SCOTTY opens the way to the new humanoid Personal Trainer, discreet and gentle, sensitive to the psychological difficulties of the patient affected by a physical trauma that is not always reversible.
SCOTTY shows the patient the exercises assigned by the physiatrist and helps to learn how to perform. She will follow the patient every day during the practice and record the success! SCOTTY will help the patient to fill out self-assessment questionnaires

A Nurse Aid

SCOTTY also helps the doctor and the nurse during the daily visits to the patient to collect all clinical data and to record them in a secure way to be then stored and available to doctors at any time

Technical presentation of SCOTTY

From the technical point of view, SCOTTY is a humanoid robot able to recognize the patient and the nurse through a QRCODE and to follow the execution of the scheduled events in the day of each patient aimed to his/her rehabilitation. It also collects all the clinical data (vital signs, clinical parameters selected a priori by the medical team and based on the specific needs of the patient) together with the nurse via voice recognition and sends them directly to a platform (ECRF), where they will be stored and made available for control at any time, also for secondary research with Informed Consent. Scotty is also able to show video to the patient about the execution of the rehabilitation exercises provided in his/her data sheet. Moreover Scotty can assist the patient in the daily course of his/her rehabilitation program. Pepper also collects self-assessments and psychological conditions of the patient through prepared questionnaires that help to follow the patient’s clinical trend until his resignation.

Patient privacy and centrality

Hopes for the future

The humanoid robot as a help and companion for children and the elderly, in good health or not. The bet and hope for the future is that a humanoid robot like SCOTTY can also be the playmate for children during their growth, and even a company and a practical support in the daily life of the elderly, even more if they are alone, or vulnerable and fragile.

Next Steps

There's plenty of talk that robots can act as replacements for warehouse employees. But items have to be grabbed elsewhere , and Preferred Networks Inc. has an idea for a place covered with clothing and general filth: the home.

All You Need to Know About AI, But Were Afraid to Ask
Rodolphe Gelin
TEDxEDHEC Business School

We all are afraid of SINGULARITY, a stage where AI will takeover humanity, but how much close are we ? Will this ever happen? Rodolphe Gelin, in this inspiring talk, will explain his experience with AI. Rodolphe Gelin is an engineer passionate by robotics and its application to assist human people. Since the first day he discovered computers, he wanted to use them to make moving objects and Artificial Intelligence happened to be perfect for this.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
