Our laboratory has begun to research interactions between caregivers (behavior technicians, teachers, parents, etc.) and clients by using humanoid robots. We program the robot to simulate the behaviors of clients to examine the behaviors of caregivers.
This innovative line of research is very promising in areas of caregiver interactions,training strategies, and assessment procedures. We recently published a study that demonstrates the potential of this line of research by showing preliminary results that the robot is equivalent to a human actor in a paired-choice preference assessment behavior skills training (Kazemi & Stedman-Falls, 2016).
