Adapting robot behavior to user´s capabilities: A dance instruction study

The ALIZ-E¹ project´s goal is to design a robot companion able to maintain affective interactions with young users over a period of time. One of these interactions consists in teaching a dance to hospitalized children according to their capabilities. We propose a methodology for adapting both, the movements used in the dance based on the user´s cognitive and physical capabilities through a set of metrics, and the robot´s interaction based on the user´s personality traits.
