Toward Monitoring and Increasing Exercise Adherence in Older Adults by Robotic Intervention: A Proof of Concept Study

Figure 7

The initial interactive robotic framework is represented by a flowchart. When the vision-processing unit detects the presence of a user, it signals this information to the exercise adherence unit, which begins the interaction. If the user consents to begin an exercise, the robot first demonstrates it. Based on information from the vision-processing unit, the exercise adherence unit determines whether the user has completed an exercise correctly and, if the user has not, give the user an opportunity to be guided through the exercise again.
