Abstract
This paper presents an implementation with mobile robot to generate actions to interact with children with autism. The robot is able to detect the child localization and approach him/her, keeping a safe proximity minimum (interaction distance). The mobile robot is equipped with laser sensor to obtain distances and an embedded control system for the interaction. The implementation allows two modes of interaction, depending on the degree of interaction with the child. The system here developed can help children with autism in the process of social evolution and be a tool for professionals and researchers of the area.Keywords
