Abstract Background Although there is a great deal of success in rehabilitative robotics applied to patient recovery post stroke most of the research to date has dealt with providing physical assistance. However new rehabilitation studies support the theory that not all therapy need be hands-on. We describe a new area called socially assistive robotics that focuses on non-contact patient user assistance. We demonstrate the approach with an implemented and tested post-stroke recovery robot and discuss its potential for effectiveness. Results We describe a pilot study involving an autonomous assistive mobile robot that aids stroke patient rehabilitation by providing monitoring encouragement and reminders. The robot navigates autonomously monitors the patient s arm activity and helps the patient remember to follow a rehabilitation program. We also show preliminary results from a follow-up .
