Abstract

This paper presents the programming of a Bioloid robot to engage elderly to do 15 minutes' exercise routines divided into 3 parts: warm-up, conditioning and relaxation.

To validate the functioning of the system, it was evaluated in a group of older adults with an average age of 77.5 years, obtaining a good acceptance of the users for the robot therapist. In addition, the E4 wristband device is used to acquire the blood volume pulse, and the electrical skin properties, determining that the routines are goo to the elderly by the increased this signals.
