TDP: Interactive Story Session

Version 3.1 by Simran Kaur on 2023/04/10 21:02

Problem	The Activity Coordinator and Humanoid Robot have to manage the interactive game play and emerging social behaviors of a group of vulnerable game participants such as Person with Dementia. The allocation of tasks should be harmonized to the momentary capacities of the coordinator and robot, the varying needs of the players, and to the context. Pausing the game is part of the game management, as a mitigation strategy for prevention and handling of troubles that appear during the game play.
Solution Structure
Solution Description	All actors (caregiver, humanoid robot, PwD, family member) are co-located.
Human RQ	Listener: Show interest in the story and respond to prompts. Caregiver: Know the vulnerabilities of the listeners (irritability, hesitation towards interacting). Show perceptual and cognitive skills to identify and mitigate awkward situations by supervising the interactions and instructing the robot to stop/continue story.
Machine RQ	RQ02.1: Narrate a personalized story RQ02.2: Prompt people with immersive questions from within the story RQ02.3: Play soothing background music
Consequences	+ Entertain the PwD while they engage in their daily activity and provide interaction opportunities with the people around them. - The storytelling session can be constrained by the robot's limitations to gauge the listeners' interest in the story
Grounding	Status: Proto Pattern. Instantiations: UC01.2: Interactive Story session
