Adaptation in humanoid robots serious games for mild cognitive impairment older adults

Since the number of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) older adults is increasing, it becomes more and more important to provide them with support to avoid the progression of their cognitive decline to dementia. To this regard, interactive serious games can play an important role. However, while most of them have been deployed mainly through tablets, the current emerging humanoid robots are opening up novel possibilities to this regard. In this position paper we aim to describe our current research interest in better understanding the impact of humanoid robots in supporting serious games for such users.
