A major focus for children’s quality of life programs in hospitals is improving their experiences during procedures. In anticipation of treatment, children may become anxious and during procedures pain appears. The aim of this article is to introduce a proposal to design pioneering techniques based on the use of social robots to improve the patient experience by eliminating or minimizing pain and anxiety. According to this proposed challenge, this research aims to design and develop specific human-social robot interaction with pet robots. Robot interactive behavior will be designed based on modular skills using soft-computing paradigms. ; Postprint (published version)
