在过去十年中，由于儿童的焦虑和抑郁问题，儿童对心理健康干预的需求日益增加，而COVID-19大流行加剧了这一问题。社会辅助机器人技术已被证明在支持有心理健康相关问题的儿童方面具有巨大潜力。然而，了解如何使用机器人来帮助测量这些问题仍然是一个开放的挑战。本文对儿童-机器人交互（cHRI）论文（2016-2021年IEEE ROMAN会议录和使用Google Scholar进行的基于关键词的文章搜索）进行了叙述性综述，以调查在评估儿童心理健康或评估影响儿童心理健康的因素方面存在的开放性挑战和潜在的知识差距。我们利用SPIDER框架来寻找纳入相关研究的关键要素。这项工作的结果（共10篇筛选论文）调查了cHRI研究中关于心理健康的挑战，通过对当前研究的机器人相关因素（机器人自主性和机器人类型），协议相关因素（实验目的，任务，参与者和用户感知）和数据相关因素（分析和发现）进行分类。这项工作的主要贡献是突出的cHRI研究人员进行测量儿童的心理健康的潜在机会。
During the last decade, children have shown an increasing need for mental wellbeing interventions due to their anxiety and depression issues, which the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated. Socially Assistive Robotics have been shown to have a great potential to support children with mental wellbeing-related issues. However, understanding how robots can be used to aid the measurement of these issues is still an open challenge. This paper presents a narrative review of child-robot interaction (cHRI) papers (IEEE ROMAN proceedings from 2016-2021 and keyword-based article search using Google Scholar) to investigate the open challenges and potential knowledge gaps in the evaluation of mental wellbeing or the assessment of factors affecting mental wellbeing in children. We exploited the SPIDER framework to search for the key elements for the inclusion of relevant studies. Findings from this work (10 screened papers in total) investigate the challenges in cHRI studies about mental wellbeing by categorising the current research in terms of robot-related factors (robot autonomy and type of robot), protocol-related factors (experiment purpose, tasks, participants and user sensing) and data related factors (analysis and findings). The main contribution of this work is to highlight the potential opportunities for cHRI researchers to carry out measurements concerning children's mental wellbeing.
