Young children with autism show atypical prefrontal cortical responses to humanoid robots: An fNIRS study.

International journal of psychophysiology : official journal of the International Organization of Psychophysiology
BACKGROUND: Previous behavioral studies have found that children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) show greater interest in humanoid robots than in humans. However, the neural mechanism underlying this is not clear. This study compared brain activa...

Socially-Assistive Robots to Support Learning in Students on the Autism Spectrum: Investigating Educator Perspectives and a Pilot Trial of a Mobile Platform to Remove Barriers to Implementation.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Technology offers educators tools that can tailor learning to students' learning styles and interests. Research into the use of socially-assistive robots as a learning support for children on the autism spectrum are showing promising results. However...

Extending Robot Therapy for Children with Autism Using Mobile and Web Application.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Robot treatments for children with autism have proven to be successful and effective. However, the resources needed for the treatments do not always meet the needs of the children. We overcame the lack of equipment and staff by extending the concept ...

Otisma: an integrated application and humanoid robot as an educational tool for children with autism.

Journal of medical engineering & technology
Autistic children have difficulty communicating wants, needs, and thoughts. In cases of low functioning autism, an individual can have serious speech and language disabilities. In response to the need of parents and therapists dealing with autistic c...

Social robots in the instruction of social skills in autism: a comprehensive descriptive analysis of single-case experimental designs.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
PURPOSE: The rapid technological advances, the traits of individuals with ASD and their interest in technology are promising for the instruction of social skills to individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) using various technological intervent...

The use of social robots with children and young people on the autism spectrum: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: Robot-mediated interventions show promise in supporting the development of children on the autism spectrum.

Identifying Visual Attention Features Accurately Discerning Between Autism and Typically Developing: a Deep Learning Framework.

Interdisciplinary sciences, computational life sciences
Atypical visual attention is a hallmark of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Identifying the attention features accurately discerning between people with ASD and typically developing (TD) at the individual level remains a challenge. In this study, we d...

Facial Features Detection System To Identify Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder: Deep Learning Models.

Computational and mathematical methods in medicine
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder associated with brain development that subsequently affects the physical appearance of the face. Autistic children have different patterns of facial features, which set them distinctivel...

IoT and AI-Based Application for Automatic Interpretation of the Affective State of Children Diagnosed with Autism.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
In the context in which it was demonstrated that humanoid robots are efficient in helping children diagnosed with autism in exploring their affective state, this paper underlines and proves the efficiency of a previously developed machine learning-ba...

Effects of Parental Involvement in Robot-Assisted Autism Therapy.

Journal of autism and developmental disorders
Parental involvement in traditional autism therapy is key to the effective treatment of children with ASD. Little is known about parental involvement in robot-assisted autism therapy (RAAT)-novel therapeutic support for children with ASD. Our study i...
