Overview

While robots have been used for social interaction, there is great untapped potential for their use as therapeutic social partners. This research provides a process by which a socially assistive robot can be developed and used for socialization therapy for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Toward that end, the robot is designed so that its behavior encourages, facilitates, and trains, social behavior in children with ASD through embodied social interaction. The contributions of this work include a socially assistive robot control architecture, methods for multimodal assistive human-robot interaction (HRI) sensing and recognition, and domain-relevant validation metrics based on existing psychological benchmarks as the basis for the behavior of the robot.

It is generally understood that children with ASD typically respond better, socially and intellectually, to computers and robots than to humans in similar contexts. It has also been observed that robots can inspire social behavior in children with ASD. This work describes a methodology for designing socially assistive robot systems that encourage, through social interaction, a measurable increase in social behavior. This increase is observable through the ADOS evaluation. The methodology combines best practices and research methods from psychology and education literature with known robot sensing, planning, and control methods currently used in robotics. An architecture implementing situated modules and episode rules for socialization-evoking behavior is presented. A series of situated modules are created that evoke behavior in the ASD child described in the social modules of the ADOS evaluation. Each situated module employs a controller designed to create robot behavior that encourages social behavior in children, focused on the needs of children with ASD. The modules are designed for additive effect, so that the resulting system can employ a variety of social interactions. A major challenge addressed in this work is the difficultly in constructing a robot system that can recognize, understand, and correctly act upon behavior observed in its user, especially one with special needs. A series of methods for activity modeling and user modeling are presented, employed and analyzed for effectiveness.

A key aspect of this work is the examination the role of embodiment in socially assistive robotics. Robots may provide benefits over non-embodied technologies in both interaction potential and range of assistance. However, embodiment introduces unique challenges for perception, understanding, and interaction. This work provides controlled experimental studies that compare a socially assistive robot to non-embodied computers and human therapists in similar situations.

The described approach will be validated in multiple ways using both typically developing populations and children with ASD. The validation of each controller occurs on several fronts. Existing psychological evaluation methods such as the ADOS personality survey are used to assess the social of the assistive robot. In addition, the robot is evaluated in terms of its ability to recognize, understand, and then act upon the actions of its user. The overall effects of this system on the behavior of its user, along with the change in the social behavior of the user when not interacting with the robot is used to validate the hypotheses relating to the therapeutic potential of socially assistive robots for ASD.
