EEG analysis and mobile robot as tools for emotion characterization in autism

摘要

Background Autism or “Autism Spectrum Disorder” is characterized by manifestations of impairments in social behavior, stereotyped movements, difficulty in communication and interaction with people. This paper presents a system composed of a mobile robot to generate interactive tasks with autistic children, and an EEG (electroencephalography) equipment to get brain information to characterize their emotions.
