"4993","How can robots facilitate social interaction of children with autism?: Possible implications for educational environments","Children with autism have difficulties in social interaction with other people and much attention in recent years has been directed to robots as therapy tools. We studied the social interaction between children with autism and robots longitudinally to observe developmental changes in their performance. We observed children at a special school for six months and analyzed their performance with robots. The results showed that two children adapted to the experimental situations and developed interaction with the robots. This suggests that they changed their interaction with the robots from an object-like one into an agentlike one.","http://cogprints.org/4993/","Miyamoto, Emi and Lee, Mingyi and Fujii, Hiroyuki and Okada, Michio","Berthouze, Luc and Kaplan, Frédéric and Kozima, Hideki and Yano, Hiroyuki and Konczak, Jürgen and Metta, Giorgio and Nadel, Jacqueline and Sandini, Giulio and Stojanov, Georgi and Balkenius, Christian","       <span class=\"person_name\">Miyamoto, Emi</span> and <span class=\"person_name\">Lee, Mingyi</span> and <span class=\"person_name\">Fujii, Hiroyuki</span> and <span class=\"person_name\">Okada, Michio</span>     (2005)  <a href=\"http://cogprints.org/4993/\"><em>How can robots facilitate social interaction of children with autism?: Possible implications for educational environments.</em></a>       [Conference Poster]           ","","2005"
