Children, Humanoid Robots and Caregivers

چکیده
This paper presents developmental learning on a humanoid robot from human-robot interactions. We consider in particular teaching humanoids as children during the child’s Separation and Individuation developmental phase (Mahler, 1979). Cognitive development during this phase is characterized both by the child’s dependence on her mother for learning while becoming awareness of her own individuality, and by self-exploration of her physical surroundings. We propose a learning framework for a humanoid robot inspired on such cognitive development.

PSO-Based Path Planning Algorithm for Humanoid Robots Considering Safety
In this paper we introduce an improvement in the path planning algorithm for the humanoid soccer playing robot which uses Ferguson splines and PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization). The objective of the algorithm is to find a path through other playing robots to the ball, which should be as short as possible and also safe enough. Ferguson splines create preliminary paths using random generated para...
متن کاملExploring Social Robots as a tool for Special Education to teach English to Iranian Kids with Autism
This case study investigates the effects of Robot Assisted Language Learning (RALL) on English vocabulary learning and retention of Iranian children with high-functioning autism. Two groups of three male students (6-10 years old) with high-functioning autism participated in the current study. The humanoid robot NAO was used as a teacher assistant to teach English to the RALL group. Both RALL an...
متن کاملA Low Friction Demanding Approach in Gait Planning for Humanoid Robots During 3D Manoeuvres
This paper proposes a gait planning approach to reduce the required friction for a biped robot walking on various surfaces. To this end, a humanoid robot with 18 DOF is considered to develop a dynamics model for studying various 3D manoeuvres. Then, feasible trajectories are developed to alleviate the fluctuations on the upper body to resemble human-like walking. In order to generate feasible w...
متن کاملRobot-based Intervention Program for Autistic Children with Humanoid Robot NAO: Initial Response in Stereotyped Behavior
The development and research on Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) between the humanoid robot and autistic children is new and innovative. This paper presents the initial response of stereotyped behavior in HRI between Humanoid Robot NAO and children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) during the Robot-based Intervention Program (RBIP) and normal class session. The presence of stereotyped behavior i...
متن کاملChildren's Lying Behaviour in Interactions with Personified Robots
This study investigates how young children between 4 6 years old interact with personified robots during a lying situation. To achieve this, a temptation resistance paradigm was used, in which children were instructed to not look at a toy (behind their back) while the instructor (a robot dog, a humanoid or a human) left the room. Results revealed that regardless of the type of communication par...
