Play is a natural activity for building and improving abilities, and it reveals important particularly for persons with disabilities. Many social, physical and cultural factors may hinder children with disabilities from fully enjoying play as their peers. Autonomous robots with specific characteristics can enhance the ludic experience, having implications for the character of the play and presenting opportunities related to autonomy and physical movement, the very nature of robots. Their introduction into play thus provides everybody, and in particular persons with disabilities, new possibilities for developing abilities, improving general status, participating in social contexts, as well as supporting professionals in monitoring progress. This book presents a framework for the design of playful activities with robots, developed over 20 years? experience at AIRLab - POLIMI. Part 1 introduces the play concepts and characteristics, and research results about play of children with different kinds of impairments. Part 2 focuses on implementing robots able to play. The design of playful activities is discussed, as well as the necessary characteristics for them to be useful in both general play and activities involving disability-related limitations. In Part 3, the defined framework is used to analyze possibilities involving robots available on the toy market, robots developed at research labs, and robots to be developed in the next future. The aim of the book is to give developers, caregivers, and users a set of methodological tools for selecting, exploring, and designing inclusive play activities where robots play a central role. 410 0$aResearch for Development,$x2198-7319 606 $aRobotics 606 $aAutomatic control 606 $aAutomation 606 $aVideo games$xProgramming 606 $aClinical psychology 606 $aRehabilitation 606 $aMentally ill$xRehabilitation 606 $aHuman-machine systems 606 $aOccupational therapy 606 $aRobotics 606 $aControl, Robotics, Automation 606 $aGame Development 606 $aRehabilitation Psychology 606 $aInteraction Design 606 $aOccupational Therapy 615 0$aRobotics. 615 0$aAutomatic control. 615 0$aAutomation. 615 0$aVideo games$xProgramming. 615 0$aClinical psychology. 615 0$aRehabilitation. 615 0$aMentally ill$xRehabilitation. 615 0$aHuman-machine systems. 615 0$aOccupational therapy. 615 14$aRobotics. 615 24$aControl, Robotics, Automation. 615 24$aGame Development. 615 24$aRehabilitation Psychology. 615 24$aInteraction Design. 615 24$aOccupational Therapy. 676 $a629.892 676 $a681.761 700 $aBonarini$b Andrea$01265764 702 $aBesio$b Serenella 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910629293103321 996 $aRobot play for all$93066912 997 $aUNINA
