Evaluating child-robot interaction with the NAOTherapist platform in pediatric rehabilitation
After a study that included rehabilitation sessions with the platform Inrobics From the study of more than 120 children, it was found that there was no need for human intervention during the session. The surveys carried out showed that the participants had fun while playing with the robot, as well as feeling motivated and committed to the process. In fact, when there were difficulties in reaching a position, they did not give up and kept trying. The videos of paediatric patients included in the research show the great effort made during the session, uninhibited behaviour and active commitment when playing with the robot.

Socially assisted child-robot interaction. Using robots to promote leg movement training in infants
Early interactions have the potential to positively influence infants' movement patterns. This work developed and validated a contactless interaction system between infants and assistive social robots using imitation in response to the NAO robot's movements. Nine of twelve participants learned leg movements using this technique. The infants were alert and did not fuss. To our knowledge, this paper discusses the first interaction of assistive social robots with infants.

An assistive social robotics platform for upper limb rehabilitation. A longitudinal study with pediatric patients
Study showing that patients who participated in the program improved their motor skills after four months of training compared to conventional treatment where no improvements were detected. This result was especially evident in patients who attended all their scheduled sessions. Family members felt that patients performed the exercises better than before training with the robot.

Upper limb training based on social assistive robotics: a case study in pediatric neurological disability
The humanoid robot NAO appears to be viable for administering and guiding an upper limb training program in pediatric neurological patients as a complement to conventional therapies.

Pediatric Spinal Cord Injuries After Training With Robic, The Humanoid Robot
The results after 10 sessions with the platform Inrobics of 10 patients with spinal cord injuries showed that arm training improves motor learning for a given task. In addition, the study reveals a reduction in sudden movements associated with motor control of the upper limbs.
