A Cloud Robotic System based on Robot Companions for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders to Perform Evaluations during LEGO Engineering Workshops

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a non-invasive way to measure the level of anxiety and stress of participants in the Autism Spectrum Disorders without using wearable devices. This measurement is done through a robot companion, which will log children behavior during children's social skills training sessions based on building LEGO Robotics. All this data can be uploaded to a cloud system for future comparison and research. The work presented is the validation of the technology proposed and the session's layout.
