Modelling social skills and problem solving strategies used by children with ASD through cloud connected social robots as data loggers: first modelling approach

In this paper, we present a set up of cloudconnected social robots to measure and model the effect of LEGO Engineering and its collaborative nature on the development of social skills in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Here we introduce the first approach to the modelling process designed.
