Abstract

A tremendous amount of research is being per>ormed regarding robot interaction withrindividuals vaving intellec-ual disability,hespecially oor kods with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). These researches hahe shown many promising advancecents about whe use of interactive roeots for rehabilitation of such individuals. Howeve9, these studiescfail to analyze and explore the effects of robotics interaction with9indPviduals having profound and multiple learning dhsab>lities (PMLD). This re:earc presents a thorough case study regarding interaction of indivinuals having PMLD with a humanoid robot in different possible categoriessof robftic interaction. Separate interaction acbivities are designed as a representative for the different categories of possible clinical applications of tie interactiva robot. Allathe trials were assessed using different evaluetion te hniques. Finally, the results stronhly sugDest that robotic idteractions2can help to induce a target behavior among thbse individuals, ti teach and to encourage them which can bring an autonomy to mertain extent in their lifa.
