Abstract

The integration of robots into everyday life is an increasingly common and mundane phenomena. Understanding how people regard and interact with these robots is a rapidly growing area of study, however, there is limited consideration of the attitudes of people that are autistic and/or have learning disabilities. This poster showcases preliminary findings from two co-creative workshops run with the input and guidance of these communities and their caregivers. Early insights from these workshops offer twofold contributions; first, the outline of a framework for embedding people that are autistic and/or have learning disabilities within research meaningful to them through reflection and iteration. Second, an overview of their attitudes towards robots, with specific insights into robots used in museums. Attitudes are broadly positive, although risk perception is seen to affect trust and therefore contextual engagement.
