主动活动是儿童发展的一个原因。以前的研究已经证明了我们的训练方法在学习定向驾驶和导航方面的有效性。活动能力训练的最终目的是使孩子具有社会性，即与同龄人互动。开发了一种动力移动设备，它可以定位自身，绘制环境地图，规划到目标的无障碍路径，并确保驾驶员的安全。与定位系统相结合，该系统能够应用力场来训练受试者驾驶到一个物体、一个看护者、一个同伴或一群同伴。通过设计一个“追球”游戏来验证系统的可行性。结果表明，该系统在促进儿童社会化方面是有希望的。
Self-initiated mobility is a causal factor in children's development. Previous studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of our training methods in learning directional driving and navigation. The ultimate goal of mobility training is to enable children to be social, that is, to interact with peers. A powered mobility device was developed that can localize itself, map the environment, plan an obstacle-free path to a goal, and ensure safety of a human driver. Combined with a positioning system, this system is able to apply a force field to train subjects to drive towards an object, a caregiver, a peer, or a group of peers. System feasibility was tested by designing a `ball chasing' game. Results show that the system is promising in promoting socialization in children.
