The robot was used as a tool in the hands of teachers or volunteers, in the absence of the research team on-site. On average each child spent 16.53 months in the study. Staff and volunteers at the nursery were trained in using Kaspar and were using it in their day-to-day activities in the nursery. Our study combines an \u201cin the wild\u201d approach with a rigorous approach of collecting and including users\u2019 feedback during an iterative evaluation and design cycle of the robot. This article focuses on the design of the study and the results from several interviews with the robot\u2019s users. We also show results from the children\u2019s developmental assessments by the teachers prior to and after the study. Results suggest a marked beneficial effect for the children from interacting with Kaspar. We highlight the challenges of transferring experimental technologies like Kaspar from a research setting into everyday practice in general and making it part of the day-to-day running of a nursery school in particular. Feedback from users led subsequently to many changes being made to Kaspar\u2019s hardware and software. This type of invaluable feedback can only be gained in such long-term field studies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1515\/pjbr-2020-0019","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,3]],"date-time":"2020-07-03T09:04:40Z","timestamp":1593767080000},"page":"301-326","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["Kaspar in the wild: Experiences from deploying a small humanoid robot in a nursery school for children with autism"],"prefix":"10.1515","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Dag Sverre","family":"Syrdal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Adaptive Systems Research Group, Department of Computer Science, University of Hertfordshire, Hatfield, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kerstin","family":"Dautenhahn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Adaptive Systems Research Group, Department of Computer Science, University of Hertfordshire, Hatfield, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ben","family":"Robins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Adaptive Systems Research Group, Department of Computer Science, University of Hertfordshire, Hatfield, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Efstathia","family":"Karakosta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Adaptive Systems Research Group, Department of Computer Science, University of Hertfordshire, Hatfield, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nan Cannon","family":"Jones","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"TRACKS Autism, Stevenage, Hertfordshire, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"374","reference":[{"key":"ref1331","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"pp. 425","DOI":"10.2307\/30036540","article-title":"\u201cUser acceptance of information technology: toward a unified view,\u201d","volume":"vol. 27","year":"2003","journal-title":"MIS Q."},{"key":"ref821","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"pp. 64","DOI":"10.1080\/17470210701508749","article-title":"\u201cAutism, hypersystemizing, and truth,\u201d","volume":"vol. 61","year":"2008","journal-title":"Q.
