This study explores using social robots with AI for real-time dialogue in neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs). This technology shows promise for assessment and monitoring, aiding individuals with conditions like Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Area of Science:
- Robotics and Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare
- Neurodevelopmental Disorders Research
- Human-Robot Interaction
Background:
- Neurodevelopmental Disorders (NDDs) impose significant burdens on families and healthcare systems.
- Emerging technologies like AI and digital solutions offer potential for NDD assessment, monitoring, and treatment.
- Challenges remain in validating the effectiveness, feasibility, and acceptance of these technologies for NDDs.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present the application of social robotics integrated with OpenAI's Chat-GPT for real-time dialogue initiation.
- To explore simulated interaction scenarios for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) using this technology.
- To outline the system architecture and discuss future implementations for NDD technological advancements.
Main Methods:
- Utilizing a Pepper social robot connected to the OpenAI system (Chat-GPT).
- Developing a system architecture for real-time dialogue initiation.
- Simulating interaction scenarios for subjects with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Main Results:
