众所周知，自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)患者在识别和表达情绪方面存在困难，这影响了他们的社会融合。利用互动机器人和音乐治疗方法的最新进展，并将两者结合起来，我们设计了音乐机器人，可以促进患有自闭症儿童的社交和情感互动。机器人与患有ASD的儿童进行交流，同时检测他们的情绪状态和身体活动，然后根据交互数据进行实时发声。鉴于我们设想使用带有孩子的多个机器人，我们采用了客户端-服务器架构。每个机器人和传感设备充当终端的角色，而发声服务器处理所有数据并产生协调的发声。在描述了我们使用发声的目标之后，我们详细介绍了系统架构和正在进行的研究场景。我们相信，本论文为辅助技术的发音应用提供了一个新的视角。
People with Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are known to have difficulty recognizing and expressing emotions, which affects their social integration. Leveraging the recent advances in interactive robot and music therapy approaches, and integrating both, we have designed musical robots that can facilitate social and emotional interactions of children with ASD. Robots communicate with children with ASD while detecting their emotional states and physical activities and then, make real-time sonification based on the interaction data. Given that we envision the use of multiple robots with children, we have adopted a client-server architecture. Each robot and sensing device plays a role as a terminal, while the sonification server processes all the data and generates harmonized sonification. After describing our goals for the use of sonification, we detail the system architecture and on-going research scenarios. We believe that the present paper offers a new perspective on the sonification application for assistive technologies.
