Robotic technology-aided instruction and interventions have been designed to support both Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT) interventions for children with ASD. However, to the best of our knowledge, this field has ...
We present a case of a 75-year-old Asian woman with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) who underwent a 1-month comprehensive rehabilitation training program supplemented by robot-assisted gait training (RAGT). GBS can lead to fatigue and prolonged bed res...
As robots become increasingly common in human-populated environments, they must be perceived as social beings and behave socially. People try to preserve their own space during social interactions with others, and this space depends on a variety of f...
