QTrobot
QTrobot is a humanoid robot, built and designed to assist in teaching new skills to children with autism spectrum disorder and help them benefit more from educational sessions.
QTrobot has pre-programmed educational curriculums which are the results of many years of research in the field of autism training. These curriculums focus on different sets of skills required to build autistic children’s capacities to be more independent and socially interactive. Autism professionals can gain free access to these curriculums, as well as further design their own on the graphical interface. By increasing the dialogue between scientists and therapists, QTrobot seeks to optimize care for children with autism.
