Interactive Robotic Devices for Cognition and Manipulation Skill Development in Handicapped Children

这项提议是为了开发机器人技术，作为严重残疾人的教学辅助工具。它解决了严重残疾者的个性化教育这一被忽视的领域。迄今为止，这种一对一的教育既昂贵又耗时。帮助一个严重残疾的孩子需要花费大量的个人时间和精力。通过使用机器人来代替没有指导的空闲时间，这些孩子的教育经历应该会受到巨大的影响。

This proposal is to develop the use of robotics as a teaching aid for the severely disabled. It addresses the neglected area of personalized education for the severely handicapped. This one-on-one type of education has to date been both too expensive and too time consuming. It takes a lot of individual time and effort to help a severely handicapped child. By using robotics to replace the idle time which is spent without instruction, the educational experience of these children should be enormously impacted.
