Research on robots interacting effectively with autistic children

Abstract

This paper focuses on designing a robot that can efficiently relieve pressure and heal children with autism. autism, a common and unavoidable disease, happens in 1 in 100 children worldwide, and is not easy to recover, especially for children. While many organizations have explored the effectiveness of social robots, only a few robots are available that encompass helpful functions. In this paper, a few new functions or changes, such as portable design and more attractive and complex interaction design, can significantly improve the possibility of healing. The research incorporated the detailed design of the robot and meta-analysis as the data analysis method. Our data come from previous research from different areas of the world. The robot reveals that current robots are still incapable of comprehensive interactions and what future designs are expected to be included.
