TL;DR: It is suggested that the nature of the task requested by the robot, e.g. whether its effects are revocable as opposed to irrevocable, has a significant impact on participants’ willingness to follow its instructions.

TL;DR: In this article, a system based on haptics and virtual reality visualisation techniques is described, where particular emphasis is given to different control strategies for interaction derived from minimum jerk theory and the aid of virtual and mixed reality based exercises.

TL;DR: A framework for categorisation of HRI modalities and features that will allow comparing their therapeutic benefits is proposed, and it is recommended that the HRI is better described and documented so that work of various teams can be considered in the same group and categories.

TL;DR: A novel design, implementation, and first evaluation of a triadic, collaborative game involving the humanoid robot, kinesics and synchronization in personal assistant robotics (KASPAR), playing games with pairs of children with autism are presented.

TL;DR: An important conclusion to draw is that this study has shown that the intervention and control phase both caused changes over a period of 9 sessions in comparison to the baseline, which might indicate that use of new challenging and motivational therapies can influence the outcome of therapies at a point when clinical changes are not expected.
