ABSTRACT
Deficiency in social interaction is one of the most crucial issues for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). To foster their emotional and social communication, we have developed an orchestration robot platform. After describing our concepts of the use of sonification in the intervention sessions, we describe our efforts in developing a facial expression detection system and implementing a platform-free sonification server system.

Emotional Robot to Examine Differences in Play Patterns and Affective Response of Children with and Without ASD
HRI '16: The Eleventh ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human Robot InteractionRobots are often employed to proactively engage children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in well-defined physical or social activities to promote specific educational or therapeutic outcomes. However, much can also be learned by leveraging a robot's ...
Robotic animals might aid in the social development of children with autism
HRI '08: Proceedings of the 3rd ACM/IEEE international conference on Human robot interactionThis study investigated whether a robotic dog might aid in the social development of children with autism. Eleven children diagnosed with autism (ages 5-8) interacted with the robotic dog AIBO and, during a different period within the same experimental ...
