Collaboration Education Suite for Children with ASD
Pages 439 - 441
Abstract
Our project explores whether multiple robots can be deployed as a therapeutic tool to help children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) practice social interaction and collaboration. We implemented a human-robot interaction (HRI) solution using two different assistive social robots; the NAO humanoid robot and the Cozmo robot. We have several modules available through an iOS app that we developed for children with ASD to engage with these robots in scenarios focused on social interaction and collaboration. We are also in the process of refining an intelligent web interface so that we, as well as therapists and caregivers, can access relevant data collected by our HRI software. The web interface is designed to help caregivers and therapists, along with our team, monitor their child's or patient's progress, and understand which methods work best. The overall goal is to conduct an HRI user study with children with ASD to test how our software solution performs.

Robotic Task Complexity and Collaborative Behavior of Children with ASD
HRI '22: Proceedings of the 2022 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction- Social interactions are essential in the everyday lives of humans. People with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) display shortages of social skills, thus making their day-to-day encounters more difficult. This paper reports on two small-scale studies, ...
