Affective loop in Socially Assistive Robotics as an intervention tool for children with autism

Projekt ma na celu rozpoczęcie współpracy pomiedzy konsorcjantami oraz wykonanie "proof-of-concept" dla wprowadzenia mechanizmów rozpoznawania emocji w terapii dzieci z zaburzeniami ze spektrum autyzmu, przy zastosowaniu robotów społecznych. Współcześnie w terapii ASD są wykorzystywane roboty społeczne, które w szczególności uczą dzieci reguł interakcji, które potem mogą być uogólnione na kontakty społeczne. W takiej terapii rozpoznawanie emocji pozwoliłoby na lepiej dopasowane reakcje i interwencje terapeutyczne, co może mieć przełożenie na skuteczność terapii. Konsorcjum składające projekt Erasmus Plus chce w przyszłości aplikować o projekt w programie H2020, a projekt Erasmus traktuje jako badania wstępne.

    This study aims to develop a stress detection system using the blood volume pulse (BVP) signals of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) during robot-based interven- tion. This study presents the heart rate variability (HRV) analysis method to detect the stress, where HRV features are extracted from raw BVP signals recorded from an E4 wristband during interaction studies with the social robot Kaspar. Low frequency power...

    - IEEE Access - Year 2021

    Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have deficits in the socio-communicative domain and frequently face severe difficulties in the recognition and expression of emotions. Existing literature suggested that children with ASD benefit from robot-based interventions. However, studies varied considerably in participant characteristics, applied robots, and trained skills. Here, we reviewed robot-based interventions targeting...

    - Year 2020

    The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic affected our lives deeply, just like everyone else, the children also suffered from the restrictions due to COVID-19 affecting their education and social interactions with others, being restricted from play areas and schools for a long time. Although social robots provide a promising solution to support children in their education, healthcare, and social interaction with others, the precautions...

  • Robot Eye Perspective in Perceiving Facial Expressions in Interaction with Children with Autism
    Publication

    The paper concerns automatic facial expression analysis applied in a study of natural “in the wild” interaction between children with autism and a social robot. The paper reports a study that analyzed the recordings captured via a camera located in the eye of a robot. Children with autism exhibit a diverse level of deficits, including ones in social interaction and emotional expression. The aim of the study was to explore the possibility...
