Predictive Analysis of Errors During Robot-Mediated Gamified Training

Pierre Dillenbourg, Arzu Güneysu Özgür, Nevena Dresevic, Nihal Ezgi Yücetürk, Marija Katanic

This paper presents our approach to predicting future error-related events in a robot-mediated gamified phys- ical training activity for stroke patients. The ability to predict future error under such conditions suggests the existence of distinguishable fe ...
