| CHILDREN | ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY | EDUCATION | LIFE SKILLSSummary: "Movia's Robot-Assisted Instruction (RAI) system consists of software that enables robots to deliver content and guide children through lessons and games using a peer-like relationship. The communication is intentionally focused on certain activities rather than having conversations or games that are completely open-ended. The RAI communication results in an interaction that is dynamic and not just one-way. The system allows the facilitator to participate by using the laptop to select activities, feedback and encouragement that will be delivered through the robot. The child engages with the robot by following its directions and responding to it through a tablet. This interaction between child and robot gives a golden opportunity for a relationship to be established, so that the two can become 'friends'. This makes [the robot] a great educational assistive technology tool for children on the autism spectrum."
