Abstract

The paper discuses various aspects of behaviour programming of an interactive social robot Koalausing fuzzy logic methodology. The considered robot (a physical, reactive agent) is intended to be applied in treatment of autistic children as a therapist's assistant. Analysing a number of selected observations of classical and modern therapeutic processes we end up with conclusions motivating application of fuzzy logic techniques to define interactive robot behaviours. Next, fuzzy logic model of Koalais developed and described. Finally various programming levels in the proposed framework are presented and its advantages are highlighted.
