Control architecture design for intelligent robot assisted intervention for children with autism

Robots as therapy tools have been researched into interventional therapy for children with autism to encourage and elicit their novel social behaviors. In order to improve the robots' autonomy and intellectuality in the tasks of user-human interaction, we proposed a novel control architecture, which was based on hierarchical architecture and integrated the core ideas of traditional therapeutic behavior intervention. In this paper, we describe the core thought and components of this control architecture in detail.
