Abstract

Assistive robots are an innovative technology that emerged in recent years, the ability to help and assist people in various daily activities has emphasized their research and application in the health sector. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a subset of different neurodevelopmental disorders that involve a person's communication and behavior. The objective of the project is to conduct a proof of concept to implement an assistive robot that helps improve social interaction in the development of treatment for children with ASD at the Special Center for Basic Education of Huancayo. The proof-of-concept of the assistance robot was developed through scientific research with technological advancements, artificial intelligence, and robotics. Each of these advances is experimentally evaluated in all children with this disorder. In addition, different methodological approaches were used to address the problem, such as the 3W/DQP methodology (What, Why, Where/Data, Question, Plan), and the CEA method, widely recognized in project management, was applied to analyze the root of the problem, cause of the problem, its impact, and workable solutions. Techniques such as mind mapping, lotus diagramming, and study analysis were also used. In addition, extensive searches were conducted for equations and background information.
