机器人经常被用来主动让自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）儿童参与明确的身体或社交活动，以促进特定的教育或治疗结果。然而，也可以通过利用机器人的独特能力来学习，以一致，可重复的方式客观地提供刺激，并记录儿童-机器人互动，这可能表明该人群的发育能力和自闭症严重程度。在这项研究中，我们引起了情感反应的情感模拟机器人和记录儿童机器人的互动和儿童其他互动在机器人的情感状态。这项研究做出了两个重要贡献。首先，我们分析了儿童与机器人的互动和情感反应的情感模拟机器人，以探讨典型的发展中国家的儿童和自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）的儿童的反应之间的差异。接下来，我们使用自闭症诊断观察表（ADOS）校准的严重程度评分来描述游戏和情感反应及其与自闭症症状严重程度的联系。这项初步工作提供了一种新颖而强大的机器人技术，用于（1）区分一组患有ASD的非常年幼的儿童（n=12）与一组典型发育儿童（n=15）的儿童-机器人互动，以及（2）表征可能与自闭症严重程度症状相关的游戏和情感反应的组内差异。
Robots are often employed to proactively engage children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in well-defined physical or social activities to promote specific educational or therapeutic outcomes. However, much can also be learned by leveraging a robot's unique ability to objectively deliver stimuli in a consistent, repeatable way and record child-robot interactions that may be indicative of developmental ability and autism severity in this population. In this study, we elicited affective responses with an emotion-simulating robot and recorded child-robot interactions and child-other interactions during robot emotion states. This research makes two key contributions. First, we analyzed child-robot interactions and affective responses to an emotion-simulating robot to explore differences between the responses of typically developing children and children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Next, we characterized play and affective responsivity and its connection to severity of autism symptoms using the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS) calibrated severity scores. This preliminary work delivers a novel and robust robot-enabled technique for (1) differentiating child-robot interactions of a group of very young children with ASD (n=12) from a group of typically developing children (n=15) and, (2) characterizing within-group differences in play and affective response that may be associated with symptoms of autism severity.
