A Social Robot for Improving Interruptions Tolerance and Employability in Adults with ASD
summary
A fully autonomous in-home robot system, ISTAR, interrupts users during a chosen two-hour window each day for seven days to train interruption handling; 12 homes receive deployments, producing 70 training sessions and 1,680 autonomous hours without researcher contact. Evaluation uses interruption lag and resumption lag; results show a significant decrease in interruption lag after one week, improved social responses and acceptance, while resumption lag reduction remains inconclusive.
