University of New Hampshire, Dr. Momotaz Begum
Vanderbilt University, Dr. Nilanjan Sarkar
Yale University, Dr. Brian Scassellati
"We are very pleased to arrange this important event in order to advance the sharing of the knowledge that surrounds digital therapeutics in autism. Researchers have long proven the potential and the benefits regarding the use robots in autism therapies, however, we need to continue to encourage continued research efforts and further awareness in this sphere of research. Doing so is critical." said Michael Radice, chairman of the technology advisory board for ROBOTTECA.
The company stated that critical questions such as the state-of-the-art of today's socially assistive robots in autism, evidence-based practices (EBP) for the use of robots, advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and identifying the need for additional software and robotic based technologies will be posed.
