We suggest Social Assistive Robot as unique solution for post-stroke rehabilitation at home: Effective and engaging rehab training sessions with robots, combined with multi-disciplinary knowledge (physiotherapist, psychologist, occupational therapist, speech therapist)
Cost-effectivefor only 450$ per month first year, 240$ per month second year

Human-robot interaction: patient interacts with the robot, playing "therapeutically games". For instance, the patient move and grasp a cup of tea. The cup has embedded sensor and transmit the data describing the patient movement to the robot. The robot gets the data, interpreters it and automatically create appropriate response (e.g. feedback, joke, next excesses or express emotions)
Remote guidance:telemdicine system allows the physical therapist to convey tasks to the robot. The same communication channel allows the robot to transmit statistics and progress reports back to the therapis

Abracadabra’s vision:
To create personal humanoid low-cost robotic platformwith rich real-time machine-user interaction for SAR
R O B O T I C SAbracadabra
R O B O T I C SAbracadabra
R O B O T I C SAbracadabra
To create social interaction and emotional support
we develop Library includes:
Algorithm for recognition and Interpretation of user activities:Based on voice/speech recognition, face expression of emotions and body actions, movement and expression of emotions
Algorithms for synthetize of the robot expression and reaction:Based on voice/speech, face and bodily expression
Development of efficient human-robot social interaction: Motivation and feedback Adaptation to user interaction style, to style of the learning, and to the user progress etc.

we developed a set of external tools with embedded sensors (smart dumbbells, cups, pads, etc.) that create a smart environment for each session, thus enabling real-time interaction with zero margin of error
connected devices
and for that makes the training themost unique interaction ever
ased on the concept of
real-time collection and analysis of users actions
Abracadabra presents a new breakthrough concept for

Development Status
Starting the process of preparing the Horizon 2020 grant with Tel-ha-Shomer The Largest Israeli Hospital
Appling and getting "Tnufa" small Israel Chief Scientist’s Grant. Currently, we work on:Development of the demo (some parts of the robot)

The opportunity:
raising pre-seed We need to raise $600,000 (of $1 million)The money will give us a long runway, enable us to hire outstanding algorithm developers and engineers, and bring this from design to Alpha Prototype (including a set of 12 rehab training sessions) in the year
