Abstract:In this study, so as to explore the induction effect of social robots on social interaction behaviors of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders, 24 children with ASD were selected as participants. Social interaction behaviors were induced by NAO robots and human, such as proximity, contact, imitation and eye gaze. By comparing the differences in social interaction behaviors and skin conductance data during this process, when participants interact with different social objects. The results show that, ⑴in terms of the social interaction behaviors of participants, the number of times that NAO robot induce participants to approach, touch and gaze was significantly higher than that of human, and the gaze time accounted for higher proportion; ⑵there was no significant difference between the two in inducing the subjects to imitate behavior; ⑶in terms of physiological response, when NAO robot performed greeting activities, the skin conductance change rate of participants was significantly higher than that of human. It can be seen that social robots can stimulate social motivation and emotional arousal of children with ASD, alleviate their social avoidance in social situations, and induce the effective social interaction behaviors of children with ASD.
