--- abstract: |- 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. altloc: - http://asip.lucs.lu.se/ftp/pub/LUCS_Studies/LUCS123/miyamoto.pdf - http://asip.lucs.lu.se/ftp/pub/LUCS_Studies/LUCS123/epirob05d.pdf chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: 'July 22-24, 2005' conference: 'Fifth International Workshop on Epigenetic Robotics: Modeling Cognitive Development in Robotic Systems' confloc: 'Nara, Japan' contact_email: ~ creators_id: [] creators_name: - family: Miyamoto given: Emi honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Lee given: Mingyi honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Fujii given: Hiroyuki honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Okada given: Michio honourific: '' lineage: '' date: 2005 date_type: published datestamp: 2006-07-23 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/49/93 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: ~ edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: - family: Berthouze given: Luc honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Kaplan given: Frédéric honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Kozima given: Hideki honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Yano given: Hiroyuki honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Konczak given: Jürgen honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Metta given: Giorgio honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Nadel given: Jacqueline honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Sandini given: Giulio honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Stojanov given: Georgi honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Balkenius given: Christian honourific: '' lineage: '' eprint_status: archive eprintid: 4993 fileinfo: /style/images/fileicons/application_pdf.png;/4993/1/miyamoto.pdf full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: pub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: 0 item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: 'autism therapy, social interaction, social agent, robot interaction' lastmod: 2011-03-11 08:56:31 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: ~ number: ~ pagerange: 145-146 pubdom: FALSE publication: ~ publisher: Lund University Cognitive Studies refereed: TRUE referencetext: ~ relation_type: [] relation_uri: [] reportno: ~ rev_number: 12 series: ~ source: ~ status_changed: 2007-09-12 17:05:56 subjects: - dev-psy - comp-sci-robot succeeds: ~ suggestions: ~ sword_depositor: ~ sword_slug: ~ thesistype: ~ title: |- How can robots facilitate social interaction of children with autism?: Possible implications for educational environments type: confposter userid: 3507 volume: 123
