Applying Mobile Robot Technology to the Rehabilitation of Autistic Children
Werry, I.; Dautenhahn, K. (1999)The paper discusses the background and major motivations which are driving the AuRoRA--(Autonomous Robotic platform as a Remedial tool for children with Autism) research project. We argue--that mobile robot technology can ... -
Can Social Interaction Skills Be Taught by a Social Agent? The Role of a Robotic Mediator in Autism Therapy
Werry, I.; Dautenhahn, K.; Ogden, B.; Harwin, W. (2001)Increasingly socially intelligent agents (software or robotic) are used in education, rehabilitation and therapy. This paper discusses the role of inter-active, mobile robots as social mediators in the particular domain ... -

The influence of subjects' personality traits on personal spatial zones in a human-robot interaction experiment--
Walters, M.L.; Dautenhahn, K.; Koay, K.L.; Kaouri, C.; Woods, S.; Nehaniv, C.L.; Lee, D.; Werry, I.; Te Boekhorst, R. (2005) -
Investigating a Robot as a Therapy Partner for Children with Autism
Werry, I.; Dautenhahn, K.; Harwin, W. (2001)The aurora project is investigating the possibility of using a robotic platform as a therapy aid for--children with autism. Because of the nature of this disability, the robot could be beneficial in its ability--to present ... -
A quantitative technique for analysing robot-human interactions
Dautenhahn, K.; Werry, I. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2002)This paper proposes a technique for quantitatively describing and analysing robot-human interactions in terms of low-level behavioural criteria (so-called micro-behaviours). In order to demonstrate the usefulness of this ... -
