MQP - Humanoid Robot for Autism Therapy

Abstract


The purpose of this project is to further develop a compact, intrinsically safe humanoid robot for interaction with children having Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDDs). The robot will be able to be used for treatment and assessment. This builds upon previous projects that have developed a prototype robot and sample application for applied behavioral analysis (ABA) therapy.
