Tots on bots
Pages 405 - 406
Abstract
Tots on Bots is a research project developing robotic-based mobility platforms for children with motor impairments. Independent mobility is crucial in the development of typical infants, and is missed by children with physical disabilities. We are looking to provide mobility to children as young as six months old using robot-powered devices. Children use the system by sitting on top of a Wii Fit Balance Board, which is seated on a Pioneer 3 robot. Our software allows infants to "drive" by leaning to one side or reaching, with sonar sensors and a remote control for added safety. This video explains the need for such a system, how it is built, some clips of children during our pilot testing phase, and discusses future work.

Digital distraction or accessible aid? Parental media use during feedings and parent-infant attachment, dysfunction, and relationship quality
AbstractOften parents are discouraged from using media around their infants, particularly during feeding time, as media use is thought to harm the development of parent-infant attachment. Little research, however, has examined the relationship ...
Highlights- The vast majority of mothers use media while feeding their infant.

Initial Test of "BabyRobot" Behaviour on a Teleoperated Toy Substitution: Improving the Motor Skills of Toddlers
HRI '22: Proceedings of the 2022 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot InteractionThis article introduces "Baby Robot", a robot designed to improve infants' and toddlers' motor skills. This robot is a car-like toy that moves autonomously by using reinforcement learning and computer vision. Its behaviour consists of escaping from a ...
Impact of parents’ technology use on 18- to 24-month-old infants’ adaptive behaviors
The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between adaptive behaviors of 18- to 24-month-old infants and their parents’ use of technology. For this purpose, a survey research method was used. The sample consisted of 116 people who are 58 ...
