SILBY

Group Type Robot Cognitive Training System

This is a cognition training system that helps the activation of brain function and dementia prevention by providing brain function improving contents using a robot for elderly people and those who have risks of dementia.

Main Function

Provides Dementia Preventing Lesson Services
Main target: people older than 65 & have mild cognitive impairment symptoms

Max. 12 persons can participate in the training lesson at the same time.

Lessons can be adjusted freely (3 months / 6 months course available, 1-3 times a week, 1-2 hours of lesson)

Student and lessons can be managed with available systematic study management

Difficulty levels can be adjusted depending on the study level of the participant through the simple test of MMSE and SGDS of APP (1 – 7 of difficulty level can be applied for each content).

System Features

Cognitive Training With Robot Is Effective To Delay Brain Aging

Brain training contents that is specialized for the cognitive area. Effective for the improvement of memory, visuospatial ability, computation power, concentration, deduction, decision making, and linguistic ability.

Participants can join by each training area and group. We can provide differentiated contents to lead the active participation of the participants.

Contents can be progressed in accordance with the individual learning ability, and also personal activity data can be extracted separately

Smart technology which applied the functions such as robotic emotional interaction, voice, dynamic recognition etc.

Visual and auditory actions can be done at the same time, leading to high immersions and interests of the participants.

System Strengths

Cognitive Training with Robot is effective to delay brain aging

Advantages Of The Group Type Robot Cognitive Training System

Brain training contents that is specialized for the cognitive area. Effective for the improvement of memory, visuospatial ability, computation power, concentration, deduction, decision making, and linguistic ability.

Differentiation

UI (User Interface) that non-specialist can use easily. Friendliness humanoid type appearance design. TTS (Text To Speech) that can be expressed using various languages and voices. High performance system is applied and the software system is upgradable

Main Technology

HRI (Human Robot Interaction) technology : It recognizes user’s intention, makes eye contact with the user, and expresses emotion. Approx. 300 kinds of emotion expressions and 3D avatar technology available : It has 3D avatar user friendly design. Autonomous Mobile Robot : Omni wheels that can be used regardless of the intention and obstacles is applied

Verification

Verification by medical investigation

Effects to brain of cognitive training program with robot is analyzed using MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) device and presented to SCIE Journal ‘PLOS One’. Comparison of the cerebral cortex thickness of the participants before and after 3 months of robot cognition training program (MRI) shows the thickness of cerebral cortex of group from the robotic cognitive training program is increased by 0.004mm, while the no-training comparison group became 0.028mm thinner and with human teacher training became 0.012mm thinner.

Targets : Assigned 78 healthy older adults randomly, single blind study.
