The Robotic Psychology and Robotherapy Project (Chevy Chase, Maryland, USA) focuses on interdisciplinary innovative studies on fundamental questions of mind, emotions and personality while concentrating on co–existence of artificial and real life, mind–body interactions, person - robot compatibility, and non-pharmacological management of problematic behaviors.
The pioneer in expanding the frontiers of knowledge about a newly developed CyberAnthropology approach, the Project Team carries on its research initiatives in human–computer interactions, e–health and e-education, cyber–therapy, and technology–mediated communication. The goal of on–going program on Robotic Psychology and Robotherapy is to explore the opportunities of the use of interactive robotic creatures with artificial intelligence and sensory feedback for the benefit of persons with special medical, psychological and social needs.
