Mind Controlled Educational Robotic Toys for Physically Disabled Children: A Survey

Mind-controlled robotics can help people with disabilities to have a better life than ever. Childhood is the most enjoyable lifespan, which cannot be repeated. However, children with disabilities have the least enjoyment in their childhood. In this work, we aimed to examine the available robot toys that are educational and made for disabled children, studying their capabilities. The literature on mind-controlled educational robot toys is presented to determine the gaps available as open problems and future directions. The main observation of this study is that available educational robot toys may assist normal children, but the available mind-controlled ones lack the feature of being educational. Besides all, state of the art presented concerns on power management and data privacy concerns for all robot toys.
