基于多年的研究，建立了社交辅助机器人（SAR）对自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）干预的效用，这种机器人现在已经成为流行的工具，广泛用于特殊教育学校，自闭症护理中心和临床环境。大多数以前的研究探索了SAR作为教师，学习助手和社会技能培训师的角色，重点关注与ASD相关的学习，语言和社会障碍。本文讨论了移情和情绪调节（ER）障碍的方面，这是ASD中表现出的许多复杂性的重要潜在因素。我们讨论的设计，我们的机器人的情感能力，其基于情感的行动库，以及它用来调节用户的算法？的情感。此外，我们描述了一个用户的研究，评估ER能力的情感表达移情代理，以及它的能力，以引发更高的社会参与的用户。
Based on years of research establishing the utility of socially assistive robots (SARs) for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) intervention, such robots have now become popular tools, widely used in special education schools, autism care centers, and clinical settings. Most previous studies have explored the roles of SARs as instructors, learning aides, and social-skills trainers, focusing on the learning, language, and social impairments associated with ASD. This article addresses aspects of empathy and emotion regulation (ER) impairments, which are important underlying factors for many atypicalities manifested in ASD. We discuss the design of our robot's emotional capabilities, its emotion-based action library, and the algorithm it uses to regulate a user?s emotions. In addition, we describe a user study that evaluates the ER capabilities of an emotionally expressive empathetic agent as well as its capability to prime higher social engagement in a user.
