Examines various speech technologies deployed in healthcare service
robots to maximize the robot's ability to interpret user input.
Demonstrates how robot anthropomorphic features and etiquette in
behavior promotes user-positive emotions, acceptance of robots, and
compliance with robot requests. Analyzes how multimodal
medical-service robots and other cyber-physical systems can reduce
mistakes and mishaps in the operating room. Evaluates various input
methods for improving acceptance of robots in the older adult
population. Presents case studies of cognitively and socially
engaging robots in the long-term care setting for helping older
adults with activities of daily living and in the pediatric setting
for helping children with autism spectrum conditions and metabolic
disorders. Speech and Automata in Health Care forges new ground by
closely analyzing how three separate disciplines - speech
technology, robotics, and medical/surgical/assistive care -
intersect with one another, resulting in an innovative way of
diagnosing and treating both juvenile and adult illnesses and
conditions. This includes the use of speech-enabled robotics to
help the elderly population cope with common problems associated
with aging caused by the diminution in their sensory, auditory and
motor capabilities. By examining the emerging nexus of speech,
automata, and health care, the authors demonstrate the exciting
potential of automata, both speech-driven and multimodal, to affect
the healthcare delivery system so that it better meets the needs of
the populations it serves. This book provides both empirical
research findings and incisive literature reviews that demonstrate
some of the more novel uses of speech-enabled and multimodal
automata in the operating room, hospital ward, long-term care
facility, and in the home. Studies backed by major universities,
research institutes, and by EU-funded collaborative projects are
debuted in this volume. This volume provides a wealth of timely
material for industrial engineers, speech scientists, computational
linguists, and for signal processing and intelligent systems design
experts. Topics include: Spoken Interaction with Healthcare Robots
Service Robot Feature Effects on Patient Acceptance/Emotional
Response Designing Embodied and Virtual Agents for the Operating
Room The Emerging Role of Robotics for Personal Health Management
in the Older-Adult Population Why Input Methods for Robots that
Serve the Older Adult Are Critical for Usability Socially and
Cognitively Engaging Robots in the Long-Term Care Setting
Voice-Enabled Assistive Robots for Managing Autism Spectrum
Conditions ASR and TTS for Voice-Controlled Robot Interactions in
Treating Children with Metabolic Disorders
