An institutional visit to learn about the R&D of Inrobics
Inrobics has received a visit from Dr. Raquel YottiCommissioner of PERTE for Cutting-Edge Health of the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, with the aim of learning more about the deployment of the R&D project “Multimodal human-robot interaction systems for functional and/or neurological rehabilitation”.
This meeting has allowed us to directly share the status of the project, its technological approach, and the work done during the last year to move towards solutions that can provide real value in therapeutic environments.
A project framed within the PERTE Cutting-Edge Health program
The visit is part of the monitoring and understanding of initiatives promoted by the PERTE for Cutting-Edge Health, aimed at strengthening strategic capabilities in the field of health through innovation, science and technology.
In this context, the project of Inrobics It focuses on research and development new forms of interaction between people and robots applied to rehabilitation processes, with a focus on improving the user experience and facilitating support in therapeutic sessions.
Financing and channeling through CDTI
The project's deployment is funded by PERTE and is channeled through the call for proposals. CDTI R&D Projects linked to the PERTES. This support is a key boost to accelerate technological development, consolidate lines of research and turn R&D advances into increasingly useful and robust tools.
Robot demo and presentation of last year's progress
During the visit, a demo of Robicwhich served as a starting point to present the progress made in recent months and to contextualize the active lines of work.
The objective was to show what has been built so far, how the project is being deployed and what the next steps are to continue expanding the capabilities and functionalities of the system within the framework of R&D.
What does “multimodal interaction” mean in rehabilitation?
Multimodal interaction refers to the combination of different channels to communicate and interpret what happens during a session: for example, language (conversation)non-verbal cues and other indicators that can help to better understand the user's state and adapt the interaction.
Applied to rehabilitation, this approach seeks to enable technology to accompany in a more natural way, to offer a more intuitive experience and, above all, to contribute to making the process more sustainable over time for people who perform repeated or prolonged sessions.
More intelligence through conversation
One of the highlights during the visit was the work aimed at strengthening the conversational ability of the System.
Conversation is key to making the interaction more personal and understandable: it helps guide the process, answer questions, keep the session flowing, and create a smoother experience. This line of development is being addressed within the project as a way to improve the robot's usefulness in the rehabilitation context.
Capturing emotions to adapt the experience
Another important focus of the project is the capturing emotions and its integration as an element that helps to adjust the support.
The purpose of this line of research is to explore how technology can take into account emotional signals to offer a more context-sensitive interaction: adjusting the pace, modulating the type of stimulus, or reinforcing messages when necessary, always from a perspective of supporting the therapeutic experience.
An opportunity to identify synergies and future collaborations
In addition to learning the details of the project, the visit was also an opportunity to presentar Inrobics as a companyto share our vision and open a conversation about synergies and future opportunities linked to the priority lines of the PERTE Vanguard Health.
These types of meetings are especially valuable for aligning objectives, connecting capabilities, and continuing to build bridges between R&D and the real needs of the healthcare system.
Thanks from Inrobics
From Inrobics we want Thank you for your visit and interest. to learn about the progress of this project, as well as the promotion of initiatives that place innovation in health at the center.
We continue working to ensure that social robotics and artificial intelligence They add value to rehabilitation, supporting professionals and improving the experience of people undergoing functional and/or neurological therapies.
