초록

자폐 범주성 장애를 갖는 아이들이 늘어나고 있으며 지능형 로봇의 연구가 활발하게 진행됨에 따라 사회적 상호작용의 결여, 의사소통의 부적절함 등 특징적 증상을 보이는 자폐성 장애 아동들의 치료 및 교육을 위한 치료용 로봇이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 고양이 형태의 치료용 로봇에 대한 설계 및 동작을 다루고 있다. 현장 실험의 결과를 토대로 동작을 구상하여 감성 치료를 유도하였으며 동작에 필요한 센서, 자폐아 특성을 고려한 로봇 구조를 설계하였다. 아울러 현장 실험을 진행하여 동작의 효율성을 보였다.

As the children with Autistic Spectrum Disorders(ASD) are increasing, and study of intelligent robot is dynamically proceeding, therapeutic robots are needed to help ASD children who have a lack of social interaction, inadequacy of communication. This paper deals with the design and operation of a cat robot for the treatment. To configure the behavior based on the results of field experiments, emotional treatment is suggested and robot structure considering ASD characteristic is designed with some sensors. In addition, we verified the effectiveness of the operation by field test.
