Recent development on robot assisted social skills intervention of children with ASD

摘要: Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have significant challenges in social interaction. With the rapid development of intelligent robot technology, robot assisted ASD children therapy has penetrated into the intervention of social skills. In this paper, we mainly focus on reviewing the recent development on robot assisted social skills intervention of children with ASD. First, five kinds of robots for ASD children assisted diagnosis and treatment are introduced and the respective advantages and disadvantages are analyzed. Then, five robot assisted social skill intervention scenarios are reviewed and analyzed. Finally, the future research directions on robot assisted ASD children diagnosis and treatment are proposed.
