Humanoid robot  Personalisation  Serious Games  Cognitive training 

One way to address cognitive decline in ageing is the use of serious games delivered through humanoid robots, to provide engaging ways to perform exercises to train memory, attention, processing, and planning activities. We present an approach in which a humanoid robot, by using various modalities, proposes the games in a way personalised to specific individuals’ experiences using their personal memories associated with facts and events that occurred in older adults’ lives. We discuss how such an approach has been deployed in a trial and how we plan to extend it in a new trial.
