BUILDING AN AUTOMATED GESTURE IMITATION GAME FOR TEENAGERS WITH ASD

摘要

Autism spectrum disorder is a neurodevelopmental condition that includes issues with communication and social interactions. People with ASD also often have restricted interests and repetitive behaviors. In this paper we build preliminary bricks of an automated gesture imitation game that will aim at improving social interactions with teenagers with ASD. The structure of the game is presented, as well as support tools and methods for skeleton detection and imitation learning. The game shall later be implemented using an interactive robot.
