Description

Playing is essential to develop social and cognitive abilities. Often  children with disabilities cannot play because the toys on the market require abilities not enough developed. Aim of this project(s) is to develop robotic toys that may enable these children to play with success, possibly with normally developed companions. Some of them have already been realized by Bioengineering, Design, and Computer Engineering students, mostly using Arduino or Raspberry PI. There is the possibility to test the developed games in rehabilitation centers in Milan.
