“…Moreover, systematic knowledge about the determinants and underlying processes that play a role in the establishment of child-robot relationships is missing. Multiple CRI reviews have appeared, but they are rather limited in their scope and focus, dealing with specific social robot applications in educational settings [e.g., 125,137], autism therapy [e.g., 12,26], or physical therapy for disabled children [e.g., 144]. Other reviews have assessed CRI only in the broader context of human-robot interaction (HRI) [25,41,84,151].…”

This narrative review aimed to elucidate which robot-related characteristics predict relationship formation between typically-developing children and social robots in terms of closeness and trust. Moreover, we wanted to know to what extent relationship formation can be explained by children's experiential and cognitive states during interaction with a robot. We reviewed 86 journal articles and conference proceedings published between 2000 and 2017. In terms of predictors, robots' responsiveness and role, as well as strategic and emotional interaction between robot and child, increased closeness between the child and the robot. Findings about whether robot features predict children's trust in robots were inconsistent. In terms of children's experiential and cognitive states during interaction with a robot, robot characteristics and interaction styles were associated with two experiential states: engagement and enjoyment/liking. The literature hardly addressed the impact of experiential and cognitive states on closeness and trust. Comparisons of children's interactions with robots, adults, and objects showed that robots are perceived as neither animate nor inanimate, and that they are entities with whom children will likely form social relationships. Younger children experienced more enjoyment, were less sensitive to a robot's interaction style, and were more prone to anthropomorphic tendencies and effects than older children. Tailoring a robot's sex to that of a child mainly appealed to boys.

The use of technology to provide physical interaction experiences for cognitively able young people who have complex physical disabilities

Young people who have complex physical disabilities and good cognition may face many barriers to learning, communication, personal development, physical interaction and play experiences. Physical interaction and play are known to be important components of child development, but this group currently has few suitable ways in which to participate in these activities. Technology can help to facilitate such experiences. This research aims to develop a technologybased tool to provide this group with the potential for physical interaction and physical play, by providing a means of manipulating objects. The tool will be used to develop the target group's knowledge of spatial concepts and the properties of objects. It will utilise eye gaze technology, robotics and haptic feedback (artificial sensation) in order to simulate physical control and sensations. Throughout this study, there will be a strong focus on Human Computer Interaction, as the target group has complex usability requirements.

“…Children with CP have considerable difficulties in performing object manipulation [11] and may therefore miss the chance for meaningful interaction with environments in early stages of their development [12,13]. Consequently, due to the young onset of CP, the limited physical interaction capabilities can result in further secondary conditions such as cognitive development delay, learning deficits, and social skill issues.…”

“…As an example, movement disorders caused by CP degrade engagement of young individuals with CP in free play environments, where children physically interact with objects, make decisions, perform different self-regulated goal-oriented tasks, think about cause-and-effect relationships and understand consequences. In the literature, it has been shown that these actions are crucial for cognitive, sensorimotor, and psychological development of children (see [12,14,15] and the references therein).…”

Telerobotics-Assisted Platform for Enhancing Interaction with Physical Environments for People Living with Cerebral Palsy

In this paper, the design and implementation of a new telerobotics-assisted platform is proposed for individuals who have cerebral palsy (CP). The main objective of the proposed assistive system is to modulate capabilities of individuals through the proposed telerobotic medium and to enhance their control over interaction with objects in a real physical environment. The proposed platform is motivated by evidence showing that lack of interaction with real environments can develop further secondary sensorimotor and cognitive issues for people who grow up with CP. The proposed telerobotic system assists individuals by (a) mapping their limited but convenient motion range to a larger workspace needed for task performance in the real environment, (b) transferring only the voluntary components of the hand motion to the task-side robot to perform tasks and (c) kinaesthetically dissipating the energy of their involuntary motions using a viscous force field implemented in high frequency domain. Consequently, using the proposed system, an individual who has CP will be capable of providing smooth and large-scale motions and presenting enhanced coordination while performing tasks, even if they naturally have involuntary movements, limited range of motion and/or coordination deficits. The proposed architecture is implemented and initially tested for one nondisabled participant. Afterwards, the system is evaluated for one individual who lives with CP. The resulting quality of motion and task performance are analyzed through a designed clinical protocol. The results confirm the functionality of the proposed assistive platform in enhancing the capabilities of individuals who live with CP in interacting with physical environments.
