ABSTRACT={Chronic pain is a major health problem with significant emotional and social implications. How, in the digital age, can a humanoid robot help improve the quality of life of painful? By providing information to the patient, by allowing an evaluation and a follow-up of the pain severity, by diverting the attention, by proposing therapeutic answers adapted and selected in advance by the patient and his doctor. The objective of our interdisciplinary research is to study the collaboration between humans and a humanoid (social) assistance robot by improving the robot’s assessment of the pain experience through various sensors. These actions are facilitated by the humanoid aspect of the robot. The final objective would be to identify relevant and/or preventive interactions (non-drug interventions) taking into account the level of pain experienced by chronic pain patient, under the supervision of a physician.}}
