SOCIAL TRAINING

SOCIAL TRAINING

This research aims to examine how we can design human-robot interaction scenarios to support social behaviour training for children with autism.

We have two ongoing projects:

  • MSc.P1 – This project aims to develop State Transition Graphs (STGs) to coordinate intuitive gaze interactions between children with ASD and a social robot, thereby enhancing their social interaction skills. (MSc student: Paul Ndemo) - Funded by UNESCO-TWAS
  • MSc.P5 – This project aims to develop a personalized interaction model for Pepper using Generative AI in ASD speech therapy. (MSc student: Magret Mumbi)
