越来越多的轶事证据表明，使用机器人可能为帮助患有自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）的儿童提供独特的机会。然而，先前的研究调查了使用机器人干预对ASD儿童联合注意（JA）的影响，结果并不充分。在这些研究中使用的机器人不能转动眼睛，这是一个限制，使机器人无法像人类代理人一样。我们比较了ASD儿童和典型发育儿童（TD）在与人类或机器人代理互动时的JA启发任务中的行为。我们使用了机器人“CommU”，它有清晰的眼睛，可以转动它的眼睛，用于机器人干预。参与者的年龄范围限制在5-6岁。68名参与者参与了这项研究，包括30名ASD儿童（10名女性和20名男性）和38名TD儿童（13名女性和25名男性）。参与者被随机分配到以下两组：机器人干预组或对照组。ASD患儿的JA在机器人干预下优于人工干预。这些儿童在与机器人CommU互动后，在与人类的JA任务中表现出更好的表现。在ASD和TD儿童中，人工和机器人对JA的促进是不同的。这项研究的发现对机器人对JA的影响的文献有重要贡献，并提供了关于特定类型的机器人用于治疗用途的适用性的信息。本文的在线版本（10.1186/s13229-018-0230-8）包含补充资料，可供授权用户使用。
A growing body of anecdotal evidence indicates that the use of robots may provide unique opportunities for assisting children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). However, previous studies investigating the effects of interventions using robots on joint attention (JA) in children with ASD have shown insufficient results. The robots used in these studies could not turn their eyes, which was a limitation preventing the robot from resembling a human agent. We compared the behavior of children with ASD with that of children with typical development (TD) during a JA elicitation task while the children interacted with either a human or a robotic agent. We used the robot “CommU,” which has clear eyes and can turn its eyes, for the robotic intervention. The age range of the participants was limited to 5–6 years. Sixty-eight participants participated in this study, including 30 (10 females and 20 males) children with ASD and 38 (13 females and 25 males) children with TD. The participants were randomly assigned to one of the following two groups: the robotic intervention group or the control group. JA in the children with ASD was better during the robotic intervention than during the human agent intervention. These children exhibited improved performance in the JA task with human after interacting with the robot CommU. JA was differentially facilitated by the human and robotic agents between the ASD and TD children. The findings of this study significantly contribute to the literature on the impact of robots on JA and provide information regarding the suitability of specific robot types for therapeutic use.
