Abstract

Early interventions have the potential to positively influence infant movement patterns and support optimal neurodevelopmental outcomes. This work developed and validated a noncontact, socially assistive infant-robot interaction system that aimed to use contingent reward learning and imitation to deliver effective early interventions that complement human-delivered therapy.
