I think this is really cool! They should use this little robot in hospitals around the word, it seems like it'd be really effective in motivating kids to do their therapy. 
Children recovering from major illnesses or injuries, including brain and spinal cord injuries, at the Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne will now participate in rehabilitation with the help of a small robot named NAO.
The 53cm tall humanoid robot with a friendly football-shaped face is used to inspire children and teenagers undergoing painful and intense rehab.
NAO helps them complete exercises that would usually be hard or boring, by doing it beside them, showing them the correct technique, and recording their activity.
