Sumario:[EN] The most common motor disease in pediatric patients is cerebral palsy (CP), which affects their ability to move and maintain balance and posture. This study focuses on robotic rehabilitation therapies, carried out with the CPWalker platform, for the performance of functional exercises through precise movements. The work presented in this article proposes the integration of social assistance robotics in the CPWalker through the social robot NAO. In this way, it is proposed to reinforce patient motivation and the dynamism of these therapies, and to automate corrective feedback to the patient. Two evaluations have been carried out during this study. The first was a clinical protocol of activities and games between NAO and the patients to evaluate the acceptance of the robot by the children. Subsequently, the integration of the newly developed social robotic rehabilitation system was evaluated. The results of this study indicate that the robot is positively perceived by the patients.
