Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This paper presents an observational study conducted on the premises of the Children's Rehabilitation Center with the aim to investigate the impact of the Robot-Assisted Therapy (RAT) on nonverbal children with severe form of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Through our iterative evaluation process based on observations of three children and interviews with their parents, we continuously refined behaviors of a humanoid robot NAO that are now ready to be used for research on Robot-Assisted Therapy.
