Socially Assistive Robot for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder

摘要

With wide variety of difficulties and severity of issues faced by people with Autism spectrum Disorder (ASD), there are many junctures where technology can help people with these issues. Though there are a lot of systems proposed for the individual problems faced by a person, this paper aims to propose a combinational solution for children suffering from ASD. This robot design mainly focuses on speech training and also motion stabilization of the person suffering from ASD and employs machine learning algorithms in order to get a personal approach towards the child. The outlook of the robot is a child friendly character of a penguin which is capable of training the child on a daily basis under the supervision of a caretaker or the parent.
