Summary
This study tests two types of robot conversations—simple rule-based chats and smarter AI-powered chats—to see which one helps hospitalized children aged 2-9 feel more engaged and comfortable. About 60 kids will interact with a robot named LIKU during emotional support and safety education activities. The goal is to learn how to design better robot programs for children in hospitals.
