A proposal for an AI-based toy to encourage and assess symbolic play in autistic children
In this paper, we provide an in-depth description of Echo, an interactive, smart toy, designed to encourage the symbolic play in autistic children. Symbolic play is a key competence in the cognitive development, and it is observed for instance when a child uses an object to represent other objects. The toy, characterised by an abstract shape, can autonomously recognise how the user handles it during play (e.g. mimicking the movements of a car, an…
The Progressive Intertwinement Between Design, Human Needs and the Regulation of Care Technology
The adoption of robot technology is accelerating in healthcare settings. Care robots can support and extend the work of caregivers in assisting patients, elderly or children. Typical examples of such systems are ‘cognitive therapeutic robots,’ ‘physical rehabilitation robots,’ ‘assistive and lifting robots.’ Although these robots might reduce the workload of care workers, and be a cost-efficient solution against healthcare system cuts, the insert…
