Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a cloud-based structure to enhance long-term engagement in a pet-robot companion treatment to reduce stress an anxiety to hospitalized children. Cloud connectivity enables to combine human intervention with artificial intelligent multi-agent to bias the Robot Companion behavior in order to foster a better engagement and decrease the drop out during the treatment.
