AIDA: Using Social Scaffolding to Assist Workers with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities

Published:01 April 2020Publication History

ABSTRACT

In this paper, we present a social robotics framework to assist workers with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). AIDA, which stands for artificially intelligent disability assistant, will help workers with IDD through social scaffolding techniques. For the experiments, we simulated disabilities with our participants and evaluated the impact of social scaffolding with the Pepper humanoid robot. The results show that stronger forms of scaffolding are required to provide more effective assistance workers with IDD.
