My research falls within the EU project DE-ENIGMA, which aims to develop a novel intervention for autistic children to learn socio-emotional skills using Robokind's humanoid robot Zeno (R25 model). Autism Spectrum Condition is a neurodevelopmental condition, characterised by difficulties in social communication and interaction, and restricted, repetitive behaviour and interests. In my work, I look at human-robot interaction from the perspective of the computational accounts of autistic perception. The research questions I address are related to how do autistic children perceive social robots and how we can accommodate the aberrant perception of autistic children through the design of a robot's behaviour. Specifically, I look at how we can design social interaction with a robot that is perceived as being predictable by autistic children.
