A group of scientists have developed a robot that helps people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and enhances their executive functioning and memory.
The new robot named CARMEN (Cognitively Assistive Robot for Motivation and Neurorehabilitation) was created by researchers at the University of California San Diego in collaboration with clinicians and individuals with MCI.
Through interactive exercises and games, CARMEN focuses on teaching compensatory cognitive methods to improve memory and executive function.
