Approach

The goal of our project is to help young autistic children with their social behavior. We want to do this with the help of a robot Nao.

To determine the needs of the children a literature study will be performed. This study also includes a research about what is already done, so the state-of-the-art is explored.

With the information obtained a code for the robot will be written. This will be done in either in TiViPe or Choregraphe depending on the complexity of our project.

When the code of the robot is finished we will test it with autistic children and teachers of an elementary school. The results and feedback will be implemented after this. At the end of the project the robot will be demonstrated with all the adjustments mentioned by the children and teachers.
