This paper investigates the adaptation of a socially assistive robot, Ommie, to guide shared deep breathing and singing activities for these pairs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We refined the robot\u2019s behaviors through two interaction design sessions with people living with dementia and care partners, mediated by an occupational therapist. In a subsequent study with 17 pairs, participants engaged in deep breathing and singing activities with the robot as well as in-session semi-structured interviews, and we conducted post-hoc video analysis to explore their interactional dynamics.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Participants reported the interactions as easy to follow, calming, and familiar. Post-hoc video analysis revealed patterns of intimacy and synchrony, including frequent physical touch, mutual gaze, and rhythmic coordination. We also observed instances of personal memory recall and a playful atmosphere, in which pairs often used humor as a coping mechanism after deviations from the robot\u2019s instructions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>From our observations, we discuss three design opportunity spaces: the robot as the focus for synchronization, as an instrument of joint play, and as a source of familiarity versus variety.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/frobt.2026.1772079","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,28]],"date-time":"2026-04-28T06:26:43Z","timestamp":1777357603000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Exploring robot-led activities between people living with dementia and family care partners"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Jirachaya Fern","family":"Limprayoon","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Social Robotics Lab, Computer Science Department, Yale University","place":["New Haven, CT, United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Debasmita","family":"Ghose","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Social Robotics Lab, Computer Science Department, Yale University","place":["New Haven, CT, United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kayla","family":"Matheus","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Social Robotics Lab, Computer Science Department, Yale University","place":["New Haven, CT, United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paula V.","family":"Enriquez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Social Robotics Lab, Computer Science Department, Yale University","place":["New Haven, CT, United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michal A.","family":"Lewkowicz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Social Robotics Lab, Computer Science Department, Yale University","place":["New Haven, CT, United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Moon Hwan","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Social Robotics Lab, Computer Science Department, Yale University","place":["New Haven, CT, United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Austin","family":"Narcomey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Social Robotics Lab, Computer Science Department, Yale University","place":["New Haven, CT, United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Natnaree Proud","family":"Ua-Arak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Social Robotics Lab, Computer Science Department, Yale University","place":["New Haven, CT, United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andy","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Social Robotics Lab, Computer Science Department, Yale University","place":["New Haven, CT, United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chayan","family":"Sarkar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Social Robotics Lab, Computer Science Department, Yale University","place":["New Haven, CT, United States"]},{"name":"Robotics and Autonomous Systems, TCS Research","place":["Delhi, India"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joan K.","family":"Monin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Social Gerontology and Health Lab, Yale School of Public Health, Yale University","place":["New Haven, CT, United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Brian","family":"Scassellati","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Social Robotics Lab, Computer Science Department, Yale University","place":["New Haven, CT, United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"187","DOI":"10.1145\/3434073.3444647","article-title":"Why we should build robots that both teach and learn","volume-title":"Proceedings of the 2021 ACM\/IEEE international conference on human-robot interaction","author":"Adamson","year":"2021"},{"key":"B2","first-page":"974","article-title":"In-home social robots design for cognitive stimulation therapy in dementia care","volume-title":"34th IEEE International Conference on Robot and Human Interactive Communication (RO-MAN)","author":"Akinrintoyo","year":"2025"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1413","DOI":"10.21437\/Interspeech.2025-2099","article-title":"WhisperD: dementia speech recognition and filler word detection with whisper","author":"Akinrintoyo","year":"2025","journal-title":"Proc.
