RoboAICon2023- Human-like robots that engage with autistic youngsters during therapy thanks to personalised machine learning.
Autism impacts how people see, hear, and experience the world, which has an impact on how they interact with others. Because of this, communication-focused activities can be very difficult for kids with autism spectrum disorders (ASCs) . As a result, it can be challenging for therapists to involve kids in these activities during educational treatment. Recently, therapists started incorporating humanoid robots into therapy sessions as a solution to this problem. However, current robots are unable to interact with kids on their own, which is essential for enhancing therapy. The deployment of such robots is further complicated by the fact that people with ASCs have unusual and varied ways of communicating their thoughts and feelings. A customised machine learning framework has been developed by researchers working on the EngageME project , which is financed by the EU, for robots used in autism therapy. As they explain in their article that was published in "Science Robotics, ...
