TL;DR: The aim here is to share good practice in experimental design and lessons learned about the implementation of systems for social HRI with child users towards application in "the wild", rather than in tightly controlled and constrained laboratory environments.

TL;DR: The ability of the system to induce a varied interaction is demonstrated and the potential of this approach both as an educational tool and as a research method for long-term cHRI is shown.

TL;DR: This paper characterises this potential support in greater detail through a structured collection of perspectives from all stakeholders, namely the diabetic children, their siblings and parents, and the healthcare professionals involved in their diabetes education and care.

TL;DR: The paper will briefly introduce all the different needs that a diabetic child might have, and the difficulties she faces in the discovery and management of the disease, and outline which are the possible objectives of a "robot assisted therapy" for young diabetic patients.

TL;DR: The results show that displaying familiarity with a user as well as eliciting the user's self-disclosure in off-activity talk contribute to the user’s perception of the social robot as a friend.
