Multisensory Robotic Therapy through Motion Capture and Imitation for Children with ASD
It is known that children with autism have difficulty with emotional communication. As the population of children with autism increases, it is crucial we create effective therapeutic programs that will improve their communication skills. We present an interactive robotic system that delivers emotional and social behaviors for multisensory therapy for children with autism spectrum disorders. Our framework includes emotion-based robotic gestures and facial expressions, as well as tracking and understanding the child’s responses through Kinect motion capture.
