Recent technological advancements have led to the emergence of supportive robotics to help children with developmental disabilities become independent. In conventional research, in robot therapy, experiments are often conducted by operating the robot out of the subject's sight. In this paper, robot therapy using a system that can autonomously recognize the emotions of a child with developmental disabilities and provide feedback was developed. The aim was to quantitatively infer emotional changes in children using skin conductance (EDA) during robot therapy. It was demonstrated that the robot could recognize emotions autonomously and provide feedback to the subjects. Additionally, a quantitative evaluation was conducted using EDA. By analyzing the symptoms related to developmental disorders, it may be possible to improve the recognition rate and tailor therapy based on symptoms.
最近的技术进步催生了辅助机器人的出现，以帮助有发育障碍的儿童实现独立。在传统的机器人疗法研究中，实验通常是在受试对象看不到机器人的情况下进行的。在本文中，我们开发了一种使用系统的机器人疗法，该系统可以自主识别发育障碍儿童的情绪并提供反馈。目的是通过在机器人治疗过程中使用皮肤电导率（EDA）定量推断儿童的情绪变化。实验结果表明，机器人可以自主识别情绪并向受试对象提供反馈。此外，我们还使用 EDA 进行了定量评估。通过分析与发育障碍相关的症状，有可能提高识别率并根据症状定制治疗方案。
