A Longitudinal Study of Child Wellbeing Assessment via Online Interactions with a Social Robot
Socially Assistive Robots are studied in different child–robot interaction settings. However, logistical constraints limit accessibility, particularly affecting timely support for mental wellbeing. In this work, we have investigated whether online interactions with a robot can be used for the assessment of mental wellbeing in children. The children (N = 40, 20 girls and 20 boys; 8–13 years) interacted with the Nao robot (30–45 mins) over three se…
Coping with Emotional Distress via Self-Disclosure to Robots
People often engage in self-disclosure and social sharing when trying to cope with emotional distress. This study introduces a novel long-term intervention designed to help informal caregivers cope with emotional distress by self-disclosing towards a social robot. Research indicates that informal caregivers frequently face challenges in handling the emotional and practical demands of caregiving, often experiencing a lack of social support and lim…
Building Long-Term Human–Robot Relationships

This challenge is particularly noteworthy when considering interactions designed to support people’s well-being, with limited evidence (or empirical exploration) of social robo…

Early PTSD symptoms, often observed shortly after trauma exposure, abate with time in the majority of those who initially express them, yet leave a significant minority with chronic PTSD. While the past several decades of PT…
