Robots & AAC - Felicitous & DidaBoard

Humanoid robots, animals and advanced technologies

There are many technologies that, today, can be exploited for those activities related to teaching and inclusion.

For some time we have begun to study how to exploit robots, of various types, to increase interest and involvement in all those activities related to learning and communication.

With Felicitous, from today, you can also take advantage of these new technologies: both those from the elementary functions for learning movements to the most advanced ones that also implement an exchange of dialogues.

The use of robots, also associated with AAC, today has become a reality based on constantly evolving studies and, all these technologies, constantly evolving to achieve an ever better result.

Often we are led to think that the use of a robot is something related to science fiction alone, an imagination and fantasy that are not very useful. It’s not like that!

Many countries, for some time, have been exploiting all these technologies: in their most varied versions from humanoid robots to those with the appearance of animals or so-called intelligent objects.

Exploiting their abilities, their strength to generate interest and involvement, today are a real reality and many studies have shown that, with a robot, you can get better results.

From 2010 to 2019 the literature on “robotic applications in the field of disability” has seen an important increase, also focusing on the usefulness of robot technologies to promote and stimulate skills in Autism Spectrum Syndrome (ASD). These studies have shown that these technological innovations are able to open a real communication channel, in the person who interacts with them, and allow to focus attention on what are the social behaviors, but also didactic, to follow.
