“…Some researchers provide more focus on engineering perspective such as robots design, robots' controller, user-friendly programming platform and robots' kinematics [38,[43][44][45][46][47][48]. Meanwhile, other researchers gave more attention to medical points of view where they provide further elaboration demographic of participants (such as diagnosis, age range, gender, experimental protocol and behavioral analysis [49][50][51][52][53][54].…”

Robotics research in helping children with autism has gained increased attention in recent years. Children with autism often struggle with neurodevelopmental disorders that affect their lives particularly in communication skills, social interaction and their repetitive stereotyped behavior. In this article, we highlight previous findings on human-robot interaction for children with autism. To date, it has been claimed that child-robot interaction is a beneficial approach in helping children with autism to improve their quality of life. Based on an extensive search of the literature, we identified three major research gaps: (1) diversity in research focus, (2) bias contribution in robotics research towards specific behavior impairments in autism and, (3) effectiveness of human-robot interaction after robot-based intervention program. Therefore, this review paper shall identify and thoroughly discuss published works that address the research gaps found in this areas. This article is therefore seen as a crucial step in bridging the gap between robotics research and children with autism. The results presented could be beneficial for researchers in determining future directions for robotics research in helping children with autism.

“…A participant could play the game or engage in a program anytime he/she wants and virtually in any posture. Virtually all mobile devices and some newer computers (especially laptop computers) are equipped with touch screens, which enable users to make their choices directly on the screen instead of via a keyboard and mouse [18]. Some of the games designed to run on mobile devices [14] such as iPad, were adapted from traditional assistive tools used for ASD training, such as the cognitive affective training Kit (http://www.cat-kit.com/).…”

Abstract:The rapid development of computer and robotic technologies in the last decade is giving hope to perform earlier and more accurate diagnoses of the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and more effective, consistent, and cost-conscious treatment. Besides the reduced cost, the main benefit of using technology to facilitate treatment is that stimuli produced during each session of the treatment can be controlled, which not only guarantees consistency across different sessions, but also makes it possible to focus on a single phenomenon, which is difficult even for a trained professional to perform, and deliver the stimuli according to the treatment plan. In this article, we provide a comprehensive review of research on recent technology-facilitated diagnosis and treat of children and adults with ASD. Different from existing reviews on this topic, which predominantly concern clinical issues, we focus on the engineering perspective of autism studies. All technology facilitated systems used for autism studies can be modeled as human machine interactive systems where one or more participants would constitute as the human component, and a computer-based or a robotic-based system would be the machine component. Based on this model, we organize our review with the following questions: (1) What are presented to the participants in the studies and how are the content and delivery methods enabled by technologies? (2) How are the reactions/inputs collected from the participants in response to the stimuli in the studies? (3) Are the experimental procedure and programs presented to participants dynamically adjustable based on the responses from the participants, and if so, how? and (4) How are the programs assessed?

This study discusses the process of design, implementation and evaluation of game frameworks to enhance social skills therapy for children with autism. Children with autism have unique characters, so they have special preferences. The design of a digital game framework for children with autism is also still very limited. The framework design process is obtained from the analysis of commercial digital game components played by children with autism, research that discusses the design of digital games for children with autism, and consultation with experts, psychologists, and therapists. The proposed framework is then used as a guideline for developing multiplayer games. The multiplayer games is a proof of concept of the proposed framework. From the result of evaluation, this multiplayer game has been able to be used to enhance eye gaze tracking, initiation, and reciprocal interaction in children with autism.
