Preliminary testing by adults of a haptics-assisted robot platform designed for children with physical impairments to access play.

Assistive technology : the official journal of RESNA
Development of children's cognitive and perceptual skills depends heavily on object exploration and experience in their physical world. For children who have severe physical impairments, one of the biggest concerns is the loss of opportunities for me...

Exploring types of play in an adapted robotics program for children with disabilities.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
PURPOSE: Play is an important occupation in a child's development. Children with disabilities often have fewer opportunities to engage in meaningful play than typically developing children. The purpose of this study was to explore the types of play (...

Quantifying Risk for Anxiety Disorders in Preschool Children: A Machine Learning Approach.

PloS one
Early childhood anxiety disorders are common, impairing, and predictive of anxiety and mood disorders later in childhood. Epidemiological studies over the last decade find that the prevalence of impairing anxiety disorders in preschool children range...

Assessing and comparison of different machine learning methods in parent-offspring trios for genotype imputation.

Journal of theoretical biology
Genotype imputation is an important tool for prediction of unknown genotypes for both unrelated individuals and parent-offspring trios. Several imputation methods are available and can either employ universal machine learning methods, or deploy algor...

A Survey of Expectations About the Role of Robots in Robot-Assisted Therapy for Children with ASD: Ethical Acceptability, Trust, Sociability, Appearance, and Attachment.

Science and engineering ethics
The use of robots in therapy for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) raises issues concerning the ethical and social acceptability of this technology and, more generally, about human-robot interaction. However, usually philosophical papers o...

"You gotta try it all": Parents' Experiences with Robotic Gait Training for their Children with Cerebral Palsy.

Physical & occupational therapy in pediatrics
AIMS: Innovative robotic technologies hold strong promise for improving walking abilities of children with cerebral palsy (CP), but may create expectations for parents pursuing the "newest thing" in treatment. The aim of this qualitative study was to...

Humanoid robotics in health care: An exploration of children's and parents' emotional reactions.

Journal of health psychology
A new non-pharmacological method of distraction was tested with 57 children during their annual flu vaccination. Given children's growing enthusiasm for technological devices, a humanoid robot was programmed to interact with them while a nurse admini...
