    Area of Science:

    • Robotics
    • Assistive Technology
    • Pediatric Rehabilitation

    Background:

    • Existing assistive technologies primarily support initial walking acquisition in children with motor disabilities.
    • There is a gap in technologies designed to help children with motor disabilities practice and refine independent walking skills post-onset.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the efficacy of GoBot, a custom assistive robot, in enhancing walking amount, speed, and control in a child with motor disabilities.
    • To explore the potential of gamified robot interactions for motivating walking practice and balance improvement.

    Main Methods:

    • A 12-session single-subject study was conducted using the GoBot assistive robot.
    • The child engaged in two conditions: competitive races against a teleoperated GoBot and autonomous play of "red light, green light" (RLGL).
    • Walking performance was compared between the GoBot intervention and a standard of care condition.

    Main Results:

    • The child demonstrated increased walking duration and speed when racing against the GoBot compared to the standard of care.
    • The autonomous RLGL game mode elicited high levels of child engagement, suggesting potential for motivating balance practice.

    Conclusions:

    • GoBot shows promise as an assistive robot for improving walking performance in children with motor disabilities.
    • Gamified robot-assisted interventions can be effective in enhancing engagement and practice during physical therapy for independent walking goals.
