Comparison of the Reaction Time Measurement System in Robot Assisted Activities

Abstract

RAA (Robot Assisted Activities) allow people to feel joy and pleasure and recover through contact with a robot. Considerable research has reported that RAA is useful for elderly persons, children hospitalized in pediatric wards and so on. We have developed a reaction time measurement system with hardware and software as evaluation method of RAA. In this paper, we reported the results of comparisons featuring such measurement systems and the basic results of the RAA evaluation experiment using reaction time measurement.
