This video shows the results of the German research project ROREAS (Robotic Rehabilitation Assistant for Stroke Patients) running from 2013 to 2016, which aimed at developing a robotic rehabilitation assistant for walking and orientation exercising in self-training during clinical stroke follow-up care. This requires strongly user-centered, polite and attentive social navigation and interaction behaviors that can motivate the patients to start, continue, and regularly repeat their self-training.
