在自闭症治疗研究中，社交机器人越来越多地被用作治疗师和儿童之间的调解人。在这方面，大多数行为干预措施通常是短期的。本文描述了一项长期研究，对11名被诊断为自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）或ASD与注意缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）并存的儿童进行了研究。它使用基于行为测量的定量分析，包括参与度，效价和眼睛注视时间。每个孩子都与机器人进行了多次互动，每次治疗都是根据孩子对机器人行为的反应进行定制的。本文介绍了一组机器人行为，其目标是提供各种活动，以适应不同形式的自闭症。因此，每个孩子都经历了个性化的机器人辅助治疗，根据治疗师的知识和判断量身定制。统计分析表明，所提出的治疗管理，以维持儿童的参与。此外，与包含不熟悉活动的课程相比，包含熟悉活动的课程使儿童更加参与。与家长和治疗师的访谈结果进行了讨论的治疗建议。文章最后对当前的研究进行了反思，并对未来的研究提出了建议。
Social robots are increasingly being used as a mediator between a therapist and a child in autism therapy studies. In this context, most behavioural interventions are typically short-term in nature. This paper describes a long-term study that was conducted with 11 children diagnosed with either Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or ASD in co-occurrence with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). It uses a quantitative analysis based on behavioural measures, including engagement, valence, and eye gaze duration. Each child interacted with a robot on several occasions in which each therapy session was customized to a child’s reaction to robot behaviours. This paper presents a set of robot behaviours that were implemented with the goal to offer a variety of activities to be suitable for diverse forms of autism. Therefore, each child experienced an individualized robot-assisted therapy that was tailored according to the therapist’s knowledge and judgement. The statistical analyses showed that the proposed therapy managed to sustain children’s engagement. In addition, sessions containing familiar activities kept children more engaged compared to those sessions containing unfamiliar activities. The results of the interviews with parents and therapists are discussed in terms of therapy recommendations. The paper concludes with some reflections on the current study as well as suggestions for future studies.
