Abstract

The purpose of this research is to investigate the research trends on the clinical use of robots for children with autistic spectrum disorders. In order to understand research trends in the context of the clinical use of robots for children with ASD, recent studies on the use of robot in the educational and therapeutic intervention were examined. Critical literature review is used as research method. Recent studies of 17 articles are chosen with two filters of 1) publication years since 2009, and 2) two key-words; robot and ASD. Further, literature on research trends is scrutinized and categorized according to the kinds of robots that are used, the types of independent and dependent variables, and research methods. The result of this research indicated that recent years, the clinical use of interactive robots with children with disability has received considerable attention in light of the proven utility of educational and therapeutic intervention. Rapid progress in robotics, especially in the area of ASD, offers tremendous possibilities for innovation in treatment for children with ASD. In conclusion, this study addresses the need of further study on the implementation procedures and protocols of clinical robots that will make the adoption feasible and easy.

본 연구의 목적은 국내에서 이루어진 자폐스펙트럼장애아동을 대상으로 한 로봇 활용 융합연구동향을 살펴보는 것이다. 이를 위하여 최근에 장애 아동의 교육적, 치료적 중재에 연구되고 있는 로봇연구 동향을 살펴보고자 하였다. 연구방법으로, 자폐를 키워드로 2009년 이후에 발표된 논문을 검색하여 총 17편의 연구 논문을 최종 선정하였고, 활용로봇, 독립변인, 종속변인 유형, 연구방법을 바탕으로 하여 주제별 범주로 묶어 내용 분석하였다. 연구결과, 그 중 자폐아동을 위한 로봇개발은 발전이 빠른 분야 중 하나이며, 자폐스펙트럼장애아동의 중재에 유용한 것으로 나타났다. 연구를 통해 향후 로봇활용의 일반화를 촉진할 수 있는 적용 절차 및 단계 등에 대한 세분화된 접근이 필요함을 알 수 있었다.
