This research was sponsored by a UC Discovery Grant, and a grant from
National Association for Autism Research. The robot head is on loan from
Hiroshi Ishiguro’s laboratory at Osaka University. The interaction with Hiroshi
Ishiguro’s group was made possible by a grant from the Robotics and
Communication Laboratory, as part of an “Innovational Interaction Media”
project with funding from the National Institute of Information and Communications
Technology (NICT) of Japan. The study with 1-2 year old children is
undergoing at Room 1 of UCSD’s Early Childhood Education Center (ECEC).
We thank the director of ECEC Kathy Owen, the head teacher of Room 1.
Lydia Morrison, and the parents and children of Room 1 for their support.
The insights of Kai Movellan were invaluable for the early design of RUBI. |
