From Isolation to Communication : A Case Study Evaluation of Robot Assisted Play for Children with Autism with a Minimally Expressive Humanoid Robot
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2009)
The general context of the work presented in this paper is assistive robotics with our long-term aim to support children with autism. This paper is part of the Aurora project that studies ways in which robotic systems can ...
Therapeutic and educational objectives in robot assisted play for children with autism
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2009)
This article is a methodological paper that describes the therapeutic and educational objectives that were identified during the design process of a robot aimed at robot assisted play. The work described in this paper is ...
KASPAR - a minimally expressive humanoid robot for human-robot interaction research
(2009)
This paper provides a comprehensive introduction to the design of the minimally expressive robot KASPAR, which is particularly suitable for human-robot interaction studies. A low-cost design with off-the-shelf components ...
Developing scenarios for robot assisted play
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2008)
This paper describes the user-centred development of play scenarios for robot assisted play, as part of the IROMEC project that develops a novel robotic toy for children with special needs. The project investigates how ...
Eliciting Requirements for a Robotic Toy for Children with Autism - Results from User Panels
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2007)
The Role of the Experimenter in HRI Research A Case Study Evaluation of Children with Autism Interacting with a Robotic Toy
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2006)
Robots as Isolators or Mediators for Children with Autism A Cautionary Tale
(The Society for the Study of Artificial Intelligence and the Simulation of Behaviour (AISB), 2005)
The discussion presented in this paper is part of our investigation in the Aurora project into the potential use of robots as therapeutic or educational ‘toys’ specifically for use by children with autism. The paper raises ...
Sustaining interaction dynamics and engagement in dyadic child-robot interaction kinesics: Lessons learnt from an exploratory study
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2005)
Motivated by questions of interaction design for Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), an exploratory initial study was carried out with children and a robotic pet in order to improve understanding the design space for interaction ...
Robot-mediated joint attention in children with autism : A case study in robot-human interaction
(2004)
Interactive robots are used increasingly not only in entertainment and service robotics, but also in rehabilitation, therapy and education. The work presented in this paper is part of the Aurora project, rooted in assistive ...
