Educating children with autism is becoming a highly challenging task due to the nature of the disorder and limited interest of these children in interacting with people. Nevertheless, it is observed that most of the children with autism are good observers. This paper put forward and evaluates a novel teaching technique, Adapted Model-Rival Method (AMRM and a parrot-inspired robot for children with...
The use of biologically inspired robots in therapeutic settings could offer new possibilities for improving learning and social interaction abilities of children with autism. This paper introduces a novel teaching method, Adapted Model-Rival Method, together with a parrot-inspired robot (KiliRo) to help children with autism in learning and social interaction. The proposed indirect teaching method...
This paper presents an extensive review of "bio-inspired therapeutic pet robots", an emerging class of social robots deployed for therapeutic scenarios with a wide range of human stakeholders from elderly to autistic children. We begin by covering prominent literature that studies the roles and benefits of biological pets in therapeutic situations. We then present an overview on biologically...
