The purpose of this study is to examine the extent and type of robots used for the rehabilitation and education of children and young people with CP and ASD and the associated outcomes.
The scholarly literature was systematically searched and analyzed. Articles were included if they reported the results of robots used or intended to be used for the rehabilitation and education of children and young people with CP and ASD during play and educative and social interaction activities.
We found 15 robotic systems reported in 34 studies that provided a low level of evidence. The outcomes were mainly for children with ASD interaction and who had a reduction in autistic behaviour, and for CP cognitive development, learning, and play.
More research is needed in this area using designs that provide higher validity. A centred design approach is needed for developing new low-cost robots for this population. Implications for rehabilitation In spite of the potential of robots to promote development in children with ASD and CP, the limited available evidence requires researchers to conduct studies with higher validity. The low level of evidence plus the need for specialized technical support should be considered critical factors before making the decision to purchase robots for use in treatment for children with CP and ASD. A user-entered design approach would increase the chances of success for robots to improve functional, learning, and educative outcomes in children with ASD and CP. We recommend that developers use this approach. The participation of interdisciplinary teams in the design, development, and implementation of new robotic systems is of extra value. We recommend the design and development of low-cost robotic systems to make robots more affordable.
本研究旨在探讨用于脑瘫（CP）和自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）儿童及青少年康复与教育的机器人的使用程度、类型及其相关结果。
对学术文献进行系统检索和分析。纳入的文章需报告在游戏、教育和社交互动活动中使用或打算用于CP和ASD儿童及青少年康复与教育的机器人的结果。
我们在34项研究中发现了15种机器人系统，这些研究提供的证据水平较低。结果主要涉及ASD儿童的互动以及自闭症行为的减少，以及CP儿童的认知发展、学习和游戏。
该领域需要更多采用具有更高效度设计的研究。为这一群体开发新型低成本机器人需要采用以用户为中心的设计方法。对康复的启示 尽管机器人有促进ASD和CP儿童发展的潜力，但现有证据有限，这要求研究人员开展效度更高的研究。在决定购买机器人用于CP和ASD儿童的治疗之前，证据水平低以及需要专业技术支持应被视为关键因素。以用户为中心的设计方法将增加机器人改善ASD和CP儿童功能、学习和教育成果的成功几率。我们建议开发者采用这种方法。跨学科团队参与新型机器人系统的设计、开发和实施具有额外价值。我们建议设计和开发低成本机器人系统，以使机器人更具可承受性。
