Abstract

Most autistic people present some difficulties in developing social behavior, living in their own world. The intent of this study is to improve the social life of adolescents with both autism and mental impairment, with a main focus on promoting their social interaction and communication. An experiment designed to call for the adolescents' attention and enforce their collaboration is described; in it a LEGO MindStorm robot behaves as a mediator/promotor of this interaction. Further, sensory motor coordination and accuracy skills of the adolescents are also slightly explored. Four scenarios were envisaged. Results are described showing the outcomes of the experiment.

摘要

大多数自闭症患者在发展社交行为方面存在一些困难，生活在自己的世界里。本研究的目的是改善患有自闭症和智力障碍的青少年的社交生活，主要重点是促进他们的社交互动和沟通。描述了一项旨在吸引青少年注意力并加强他们合作的实验；在实验中，一个乐高MindStorm机器人充当这种互动的调解者/促进者。此外，还对青少年的感觉运动协调和准确性技能进行了初步探索。设想了四种场景。描述了实验结果。
