This paper describes an autonomous assistive mobile robot that aids stroke patient rehabilitation by providing monitoring, encouragement, and reminders. The robot navigates autonomously, monitors the patient's arm activity, and helps the patient remember to follow a rehabilitation program. Our experiments show that patients post-stroke are positive about this approach and that increasingly active and animated robot behavior is positively received by stroke survivors.
