This $175,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) will fund the development of an AI-driven system to support goal-setting and adaptive behavior for individuals with mild cognitive impairments. The key products and services to be delivered under this 2-year award include:

  1. Designing a goal-setting framework using multimodal data to model each user's unique goal progress and motivation based on their real-world behaviors and interactions with a socially assistive robot.

  2. Developing human-centric approaches to automatically generate and recommend subgoals that support the user's overarching rehabilitation goals.

  3. Creating personalization methods to automatically adapt the robot's behavior to support the user's goal progress and motivation during longitudinal behavioral health interventions.

This project aims to advance the field's understanding of how robots can conceptualize and adapt their behavior to support individuals with cognitive impairments, grounded in current clinical practice. The award will be performed by San Francisco State University, a research university and Hispanic-Serving Institution, as the prime awardee.
