Online Availability of a Robot Therapy for Children with Autism

Abstract

In this paper we will present a case in which a robot therapy for children with autism was transferred from clinic to home conditions. The developed application enables the children to continue with the interventions in home conditions. This proved especially important in the COVID-19 pandemic. The application also allows monitoring of the child’s activities, through which the therapist can later analyze the patient’s behavior and offer appropriate therapy. The application shows reliable results and gives promise to develop beyond the user case we are considering.
