Abstract

Homeostatic drive theory is a popular approach for decisionmaking of robot behavior in social robotic research. It is potentially to be used in social therapies. To increase the involvement of end-users in the robot's control, we present an end-user interface allowing the therapists to generate homeostatic behavior for NAO robot in social skills training for children. We demonstrate the system by two interactions in which the robot homeostatic behavior is adapted to children's behavior. The result shows that the system provides a practical solution for therapists to implement interaction scenarios to robot behavior.
