Analyse the benefits for both the patient and the Physiotherapist. What benefits do you think NAO provides to the Physiotherapist? What about the patient? 2. List the pros and cons of using this type of technology? For example, will the Physiotherapist have to team up with IT people to have their verbal and physical instructions embedded within the robot? Each time? For each patient? 3. You are to look at the following photograph of a physiotherapist at work on a patient.
With a partner, write down all the instructions that NAO would need to help a child undertake this exercise! What would be your sequence of instructions? Remember they have to be very exact (for both the child and robot to be programmed). What words or phrases of encouragement would you give to the child via NAO? 3. Record your instructions. 4. Play your instructions to another pair of students and view the consequences. Did they "get" your instructions correctly. 5. Make adjustments to your instructions. 6. Create a simple code for your instructions. Share your code with another pair. Were they able to follow your code and make the correct movements?
