More Information
Summary:The humanoid robot NAO is a ready-made exploration platform that comes with a Choregraphe software to program and animate it. Choregraphe is a powerful tool that allows programming in Python for motion control. In this paper, we explore how Choregraphe can aid users in building basic cognitive interaction modules specifically for the rehabilitation of autistic children. Difficulty to interact with others and impaired social cognition are some of the core symptoms of autism. A robot in human form has the ability to help encourage children to interact and respond to dialogue cues. Comparison between Choregraphe and another programing tool in embedding cognitive interaction ability into the NAO robot is discussed.
