Malaysian teachers’ views on robot-mediated intervention to train autism spectrum disorder (ASD) children on emotional regulation

This qualitative study explored the views of teachers and an occupational therapist about the potential use of humanoid robots as an assistive tool in educating autism spectrum disorder (ASD) children. Seven participants with extensive experience handling early intervention programs for ASD children...
