报告摘要：Technological advancements lead to smart objects being capable of identifying, locating, sensing and connecting and thus leading to new forms of communication between people and things and things themselves. We have implemented a new platform based on Internet of Things (IoT) and P2P technology for supporting learning and improving the quality of life of children. We propose the combination of IoT, P2P, Web and sensor technologies for monitor, check, control the health situation and assist children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Many children with autism are highly interested and motivated by smart devices such as computers and touch screen tablets. These types of assistive technology devices get children with autism to interact, make choices, respond, and tell parents what they are interested, need, think, and maybe even feel. Our proposed platform uses JXTA-Overlay platform, Parlo robot and SmartBox device to monitor the children and create P2P communication between children, caregivers and therapists. Various visual systems, such as objects, photographs, realistic drawings, line drawings, and written words, can be used with assorted modes of technology, as long as the child can readily comprehend the visual representation. Vocabulary skills, mathematics skills and other life skills can be taught through our proposed platform. We evaluated the effect of our platform during study sessions of children diagnosed with ASD. The experimental results show that our system teaches new skills to children with ASD and the SmartBox increase the concentration of children during studying.
