在这项初步研究中，我们开发了一套人形机器人的身体动作，用于表达四个基本的情感概念和一套学习活动。本研究的目的是收集主题专家的反馈，并验证我们的设计。我们将整合他们，以改善设计和引导自闭症儿童学习情感概念。为了验证我们的设计，我们在普通公众中进行了一次在线调查，并在主题专家中进行了四次面对面的采访。研究结果表明：“喜”和“悲”的肢体动作能够准确地表达情绪，“怒”和“恐”的肢体动作需要进一步改进。根据主题专家的说法，这种机器人中介指令是吸引人的和适当的。为了更好地匹配自闭症儿童，教学内容应该为个别学习者量身定制。
In this preliminary study, we developed a set of humanoid robot body movements which are used to express four basic emotional concepts and a set of learning activities. The goal of this study is to collect feedback from subject matter experts and validate our design. We will integrate them to improve the designs and guide autistic children to learn emotional concepts. To validate our designs, we conducted an online survey among general public people and four in-person interviews among subject matter experts. Results show that the body movement Happiness and Sadness could express emotions accurately, while the Anger and Fear movements need more improvements. According to the subject matter experts, this robot mediate instruction is engaging and appropriate. To better match autistic children, the instructional content should be tailored for individual learners.
