Week 1
In week 1 we got the first and only lecture of the course. During the lecture an overview of the course was given. Then, groups were formed and our first meeting began. We had to brainstorm about possible robot technologies we could use as our subject. We created a mindmap with several branches of interest. After eliminating most of them, were hesitating between robots for children with autism, robots for rehabilitation purposes and a persuasive dieting robot. We ended up choosing robots for children with autism. At the end of the meeting we scheduled another meeting for which each of us had to come prepared by looking up literature on our topic. For the second meeting we made a WhatsApp group to consult each other and a Google drive for Powerpoints and literature.During the second meeting we further elaborated on the subject. Where we wanted to go and what we already knew about current technologies involving children with autism. We talked about our objectives and the approach. Our main objective was to make sure children with autism can smoothly integrate in society, by improving their social skills with the help of robots. And our approach contained doing literature research to see what is out there and what not, mostly focusing on what is not. Then, we plan to try talking to specialists and/or parents with children with autism, to see what is needed or what they would look for in a robot. And if possible working we would like to integrate these needs in a game which could be programmed in a robot. Lastly, we made records during our meeting containing the things we talked about as well as bullet points of the tasks each of us had to do for the next week. Among other things, this consisted of making the presentation, writing the first part for the wiki, get in contact with specialists and think of future planning.
