“…This first version of the Kaspar robot was used for a number of activities and games that encouraged skills such as turn taking to the exploration of facial expressions [13][14][15][16]. Further to this the robot was also used to explore the possibility of conducting robot-mediated interviews with children [17][18][19][20] and to explore interaction dynamics and gestures in human-humanoid drumming experiments [21,22] The second implementation of the Kaspar robot K1-L was built in 2006 and was similar in construction to the K1 version but was a much larger robot using a 6-year old child dummy as a chassis measuring approximately 123cm in height by 30 cm wide and 57 cm deep. This version of Kaspar was mounted on a desktop PC and was equipped with an extra DOF in each arm, providing the robot with a total of 18 DOF.…”

In the late 1990s using robotic technology to assist children with Autistic Spectrum Condition (ASD) emerged as a potentially useful area of research. Since then the field of assistive robotics for children with ASD has grown considerably with many academics trialling different robots and approaches. One such robot is the humanoid robot Kaspar that was originally developed in 2005 and has continually been built upon since, taking advantage of technological developments along the way. A key principle in the development of Kaspar since its creation has been to ensure that all of the advances to the platform are driven by the requirements of the users. In this paper we discuss the development of Kaspar's design and explain the rationale behind each change to the platform. Designing and building a humanoid robot to interact with and help children with ASD is a multidisciplinary challenge that requires knowledge of the mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Child-Robot Interaction (CRI) and knowledge of ASD. The Kaspar robot has benefited from the wealth of knowledge accrued over years of experience in robot-assisted therapy for children with ASD. By showing the journey of how the Kaspar robot has developed we aim to assist others in the field develop such technologies further.

“…Also, different from the above-mentioned work with KISMET, where the interaction was the goal in itself, we wanted to include a certain (enjoyable) task that needs to be achieved jointly by the human-robot pair, to provide the overall context. Drumming is relatively straightforward to implement and test, and can be implemented technically without special actuators like fingers or special skills or abilities specific to drumming [12]. There are several works concerning drumming in human-robot interaction.…”

“…In the first presented study, turn-taking is deterministic and head gestures of the robot accompany its drumming to assess the impact of non-verbal gestures on the interaction [2]. The second study focuses on emergent turn-taking dynamics; here our aim is to have turn-taking and role switching which is not deterministic but emerging from the social interaction between the human and the humanoid [3].…”

“…Therefore the robot is not just 'following' and imitating the human, but can be the leader in the game and being imitated by the human. Details of the two studies summarized in this paper as well as related work can be found in [2,3]. 1 Acknowledgements: This work was conducted within the EU Integrated Project RobotCub ("Robotic Open-architecture Technology for Cognition, Understanding, and Behaviours"), funded by the EC through the E5 Unit (Cognition) of FP6-IST under Contract FP6-004370.…”
