Why Robot For Autism Works?
Using a robot for autism is inspired by autism characteristics. Children with autism often have a high interest in technology and usually have a tendency to feel more comfortable while working with it because of the rule-based and predictable nature of computers.
QTrobot as an embodied technology stands somewhere between a computer and a social being. It offers various benefits of technology such as consistency, simplicity and predictability, but it also has a character providing an engaging environment for social learning.
By being a point of joint attention between the child and educator, QTrobot can facilitate a triangular interaction to elicit positive behaviours and promote learning in children with ASD.

benefits of using QTrobot
For Therapists And Special Need Educators

Higher engagement, better uptake:
Learning starts with engagement. Frequent distractions prohibit children from learning and make the job of educators more challenging. QTrobot works as a mediator to enhance the engagement of children, offering more opportunity for teaching new skills. Consequently, QTrobot can enhance the outcome of teaching into faster progress in the children’s skills.

Less challenge, higher pay off:
Special needs education often requires frequent repetition of the content. QTrobot can help educators to deliver standard and high quality sessions by taking over the repetition of teaching activities. Delegating the administration of sessions to QTrobot allows educators to save effort and focus their energy on objective planning, progress monitoring and generalization of the skills.

Less paperwork, more interaction:
Educators need to allocate attention to data recording during sessions and then have to spend a lot of time analyzing the data and completing reports. QTrobot reduces this time-consuming paperwork by automating the creation of session reports and analytics. This saves the educators’ effort and allows them to direct their full attention during teaching to the children.

Easy adaptation to your way of practice:
QTrobot is a flexible solution that can be easily customized and adapted to the way that autism professionals work. Using its non-technical graphical interface, educators can easily create new programs and educational content for QTrobot to adapt it to the teaching methodologies they know to be effective for children. QTrobot graphical interface is programmable by everyone!
