“…This study also indicated gains in motor skills and coordination, emphasising the positive impact of interaction with robots on physical development [66]. The potential of robotics as an effective tool to support inclusive learning and foster holistic development in the context of students with ASD is highlighted [50].…”

Currently, the use of digital tools has led to significant changes in the educational system, favouring equity and the inclusion of students with educational needs. In this context, students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) benefit from using these electronic devices to improve their learning experience. This study focuses on conducting a bibliometric analysis of the impact of information and communication technologies on the learning of students with ASD, with the aim of addressing two research questions. Through the analysis of three databases (Scopus, Dialnet, and Web of Science), a total of 24 articles related to the subject were collected. The results show that the use of different technological devices has numerous benefits for these students. Among the most prominent are the use of augmented reality and educational robotics, mainly providing improvements in academic performance, motivation and improved retention of knowledge acquired in the classroom. In conclusion, the clear need to train teachers in digital competencies and to intensify efforts in this line of research in order to improve the education of students, as well as to enrich the knowledge available to the scientific community, is highlighted.

Through the opportunity of some public welfare activities, this study gradually has a deeper and deeper understanding of autism, and this study really want to help them improve their disease as much as possible. Through some adjustments, study found that the best time to improve children's autism is around the age of 2. Therefore, this study wants to design toys through research and inspection, and try to improve the condition of children with autism. Therefore, this study designed a toy that can stimulate all aspects of the senses of young children to try.

“…Therefore, we adopt a primarily descriptive approach that aims at mapping the arising side effects of SCTs. This approach aligns with socio-technical studies and actor-network theory (ANT), which use descriptive, constructivist approaches that acknowledge the agency of objects and concepts and describe the relationship among social and technical actors (Latour 1987). Such an approach is well suited to map the SCT and IoToys ecosystem and describe the resulting side effects.…”

“…Previous research has employed ANT to complex technological systems such as e-health (Muhammad and Wickramasinghe 2014), the introduction of telepresence robots (Beane and Orlikowski 2015), the privacy ecosystem of healthcare robots (Lutz and Tamò 2018), and trust implications of smart toys (Keymolen and Van der Hof 2019). The goal of describing the relationship on various levels among technology and individuals is not to determine precise, cause-and-effect relationships, but much more to illustrate the link and relationships among human and material actants within a network (an actant being anything that can influence an event) (Krieger and Belliger 2014;Latour 2005). Such a broad, descriptive approach is useful at this stage as it allows taking an ecosystem perspective in a field where existing research has narrowly focused on harms caused by SCTs (e.g., security breaches) (Shasha et al 2019).…”

Toy story or children story? Putting children and their rights at the forefront of the artificial intelligence revolution

Policymakers need to start considering the impact smart connected toys (SCTs) have on children. Equipped with sensors, data processing capacities, and connectivity, SCTs targeting children increasingly penetrate pervasively personal environments. The network of SCTs forms the Internet of Toys (IoToys) and often increases children's engagement and playtime experience. Unfortunately, this young part of the population and, most of the time, their parents are often unaware of SCTs’ far-reaching capacities and limitations. The capabilities and constraints of SCTs create severe side effects at the technical, individual, and societal level. These side effects are often unforeseeable and unexpected. They arise from the technology's use and the interconnected nature of the IoToys, without necessarily involving malevolence from their creators. Although existing regulations and new ethical guidelines for artificial intelligence provide remedies to address some of the side effects, policymakers did not develop these redress mechanisms having children and SCTs in mind. This article provides an analysis of the arising side effects of SCTs and contrasts them with current regulatory redress mechanisms. We thereby highlight misfits and needs for further policymaking efforts.
