Guidelines para Engenharia de um Brinquedo Robô Personalizado para Reabilitação de Pessoa com Deficiência

Abstract

This article presents recommendations on the principles of software development and design for an inclusive robot toy, using engineering tools and practices that assist in the development of a robot, focusing on the rehabilitation of children with disabilities. Such recommendations come from the experience acquired during three years of research in the FATA project. The robot was custom built to meet the needs of three children with cerebral palsy, and was designed in participatory design sessions.
