AB  - This paper reports on work in progress towards development of a robot to be used as assistive technology in treatment of children with developmental disorders (cerebral palsy). This work integrates two activities. The first one is mechanical device design (humanoid robot) of sufficient capabilities for demonstration of therapeutical exercises for habilitation of gross and fine motor functions and for acquiring spatial relationships. The second one is design of appropriate communication capabilities of the robot. The basic therapeutical role of the robot is to motivate children to practice therapy harder and longer. To achieve this, robot must fulfil two requirements: it must have appropriate appearance to be able to establish affective attachment of the child to the robot, and must be able to communicate with children verbally (speech recognition and synthesis,) and non-verbally (facial expressions, gestures...). Thus, conversational abilities are unavoidable and among the most important capabilities. In short, robot should be able to manage three-party natural language conversation – between the child, the therapist and the robot – in clinical settings.

AB  - This paper describes a prototype of an ambient-intelligent advanced service robot of anthropomorphic characteristics that is intended for operation in indoor environment as well as for safe interaction with people. The robot consists of a wheeled mobile platform with a spinal (segmented) torso, bi-manual manipulation system with hands, and a robot head with capabilities to see, hear and speak. It is equipped with a number of advanced sensors, including indoor laser range finder, several ultrasonic probes as distance sensors and obstacle detectors, 3-axis inertial sensors with gyroscope, stereo vision system, 2 wide-range microphones, and 2 speakerphones. Its operation is autonomous but it may be controlled from a host computer through a wireless link. The robot prototype is expected to express advanced cognitive capabilities including spatial understanding, autonomous motion, affective and social behavior. The development of the robot is a joint effort of four Serbian academic institutions and it is expected to have it fully operational in the second half of 2015.
