Physically assistive robots in home environments can enhance the autonomy of individuals with impairments, allowing them to regain the ability to conduct self-care and household tasks. Individuals with physical limitations may find existing…
There is great promise in creating effective technology experiences during situationally-induced impairments and disabilities through the combination of universal design and adaptive interfaces. We believe this combination is a powerful…
People with disabilities often face discrimination and lack of access in all areas of society. While improving the affordability and appropriateness of assistive technologies can pave the way for easier participation and independence,…
This paper discusses the issue regarding Non-verbal Autism Spectrum Disorder. It has been observed that this mental disorder is listed in major parts of the world including the US, UK, and India. To mitigate this type of disorder, a wide…
Recent advances in machine learning, particularly deep learning, have enabled autonomous systems to perceive and comprehend objects and their environments in a perceptual subsymbolic manner. These systems can now perform object detection,…
There is a lack of autonomy on traditional Robot-Assisted Therapy systems interacting with children with autism. To overcome this limitation a supervised autonomous robot controller is being built. In this paper we present a multilayer…
In this work, we present (i) a novel approach how artificial intelligence can support in the therapy for better concentration of children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) through motivational attention training with a…
Little research has explored the communication needs of autistic adults. Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) can support these communication needs, but more guidance is needed on how to design AAC systems to support this…
Autism spectrum disorder is a neurodevelopmental condition that includes issues with communication and social interactions. People with ASD also often have restricted interests and repetitive behaviors. In this paper we build preliminary…
Robotics and automation have the potential to significantly improve quality of life for people with assistive needs and their carers. Adoption of such technologies at this point in time is far from widespread. This paper presents a novel…
Early detection of autism, a neurodevelopmental disorder marked by social communication challenges, is crucial for timely intervention. Recent advancements have utilized naturalistic home videos captured via the mobile application…
In today's high-pressure and isolated society, the demand for emotional support has surged, necessitating innovative solutions. Socially Assistive Robots (SARs) offer a technological approach to providing emotional assistance by leveraging…
An attempt is made to develop a smart toy to help the children suffering with communication disorders. The children suffering with such disorders need additional attention and guidance to understand different types of social events and life…
Individuals with Autism Spectrum Conditions (ASC) have marked difficulties using verbal and non-verbal communication for social interaction. The running ASC-Inclusion project aims to help children with ASC by allowing them to learn how…
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is an umbrella term for a wide range of developmental disorders. For the past two decades, researchers proposed the use of various technologies in order to tackle specific symptoms of the disorder. Although…
Rapid identification and accurate documentation of interfering and high-risk behaviors in ASD, such as aggression, self-injury, disruption, and restricted repetitive behaviors, are important in daily classroom environments for tracking…
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disorder that influences the communication and social behavior of a person in a way that those in the spectrum have difficulty in perceiving other people's facial expressions, as well as…
Existing screening tools for early detection of autism are expensive, cumbersome, time-intensive, and sometimes fall short in predictive value. In this work, we apply Machine Learning (ML) to gold standard clinical data obtained across…
Every day life tasks can present significant challenges for neurodivergent individuals, particularly those with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) who are characterized by specific sensitivities. This contribution describes a virtual reality…
One of the key challenges faced by autistic children is understanding social affordances in complex environments, which further impacts their ability to respond appropriately to social signals. In traffic scenarios, this impairment can even…
