The developments of communication techniques and artificial intelligence (AI) have provided new potential methods for the treatment of autism. The existing treatment systems based on AI for children with ASD focus on detecting health status and developing social skills. However, the contradiction between the terminal interaction capability and availability cannot meet the needs for real application scenarios. At the same time, the lack of diverse data cannot provide individualized care for autistic children. To explore this robot-based approach, a novel AI-based first-view-robot architecture is proposed in this article. By providing care from the first-person perspective, the proposed wearable robot overcomes the difficulty of the absence of cognitive ability in the third-view of traditional robotics and improves the social interaction ability of children with ASD. The first-view-robot architecture meets the requirements of dynamic, individualized, and highly immersed interaction services for autistic children. First, the multi-modal and multi-scene data collection processes of standard, static, and dynamic datasets are introduced in detail. Then, to comprehensively evaluate the learning ability of children with ASD through mental states and external performances, a learning assessment model with emotion correction is proposed. Besides, a wearable robot-assisted environment perception and expression enhancement mechanism for children with ASD is realized by reinforcement learning, which can be adapted to interactive environments with optimal action policies. An interactive testbed for children with ASD treatments is demonstrated and experimental cases for test subjects are presented. Last, three open issues are discussed from data processing, robot designing, and service responding perspectives.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1145\/3450630","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,22]],"date-time":"2021-07-22T15:08:05Z","timestamp":1626966485000},"page":"1-16","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1145\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["Cognitive Wearable Robotics for Autism Perception Enhancement"],"prefix":"10.1145","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Min","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science and Technology, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wenjing","family":"Xiao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science and Technology, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Long","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science and Technology, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yujun","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science and Technology, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yin","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information and Communication Engineering, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Guangming","family":"Tao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Wuhan National Laboratory for Optoelectronics, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"320","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"#cr-split#-e_1_2_1_1_1.1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"L.
