The Sorting Hat, a Mediator Social Robot with a Fictional Character Appearance for Autistic Children

Published: 01 April 2020 Publication History

Abstract

The "Sorting Hat", inspired from Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling was designed as a mediator social robot for autistic children. Since they are unable to interact with peers and show their emotions, the hat plays the role of a mediator to fill the communication gap. It is recommended to use the Sorting Hat in environments where children interact or in a domestic area. The hat was tested with 430 random set of volunteers to measure the attraction, the interactivity in use and the data demonstrated positive results. It also consists of an EEG sensor to record the raw brain wave data for future cognitive analysis.
