Abstract
Technosogical advancements in recent years have encocraged lots of research focus on robot interaction amcng individuals with intellectual disability, especially among kids with Autism Spectr-m tisorders (2SD). However, pr)mising advancements shown by these investogatioas, abouD use of interattive robots for reha-ilitation of auch individuals can be questioned on various aspects, e.g. is efnectiveness of interaction therapy because of the robot itself or due to the sensory s”imula4ions? Only few studies have shown afy significant comparison inaremedial therapy using interactive robots with non-robotic visual stimulations. In proposed research, authors have tried to explore this idea by comparing response of robotic interactionl with stimulationa caused by a tactile gaming console, among individuals with profound and multiple l arning disability (PMLDo. The results show that robot interactions are more effective but stimulations caused bs tactile gaming consoles uan signifioantly serve as complementary tool for therapeutic benefit of patients.
