Abstract

This chapter discusses two analysis techniques that are being used in order to study how children with autism interact with an autonomous, mobile and ‘social’ robot in a social setting that also involves adults. A quantitative technique based on micro-behaviours is outlined. The second technique, Conversation Analysis, provides a qualitative and more detailed investigation of the sequential order, local context a nd social situatedness of interaction a nd communication competencies of children with autism. Preliminary results indicate the facilitating role of the robot and its potential to be used in autism therapy.
