ABSTRACT

This study was to examine the papers for intervention using robot in order to improve social skills for autism spectrum disorders and emotional and behavioral disorders, and to consider roles and interventional models of robot. We collected data of 33 articles (12 in domestic, 21 in foreign research) from Jan. 2000 to Dec. 2013. Robot’s roles have three categories - Interventional tool, Social mediator, Social Agent. In role of robot as interventional tool, frequency of application as interventional tool has been decreased slowly. In role of robot as social mediator, Frequency of application as social mediator has stabilized for every year and robot as social mediator have been applicated until recently in foreign research. However, In domestic research, there are no papers using robot as social mediator until 2012 and some papers presented in 2013. In role of robot as social agent, data was deficient in this field due to many papers published in 2013. Therefore, there has changed the trend of robot’s role since 2001 and many researchers has searched for meaning of robot’s role. Eventually, We found all robot have used for human interaction through robot’s role. In other words, It’s important not only to improve a part of social skills using robot, but also to consider why and what purpose robot use.
