Abstract

In this study, bibliometric analysis is employed to evaluate the focus, thematic trends, and development of research on the use of robotic technology applications in children with autism spectrum disorder. In this retrospective and descriptive study, the English literature on the use of robotic technology applications in children with autism spectrum disorder was examined using the Web of Science database. In the data analysis, the RStudio program and the "biblioshiny" tool, which is an R application, were used. Each article was evaluated in terms of journal, author, citation, country, keywords, and topics. The study included 823 articles published between 2000 and 2024. The annual growth rate of the articles is 16.1%. The most productive country is the United States of America, and the most prolific author is Kerstin Dautenhahn. The top two journals with the most core/fundamental and highly cited articles are the International Journal of Social Robotics and the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders. The terms “human-robot interaction”, “robot-assisted therapy”, “imitation”, “rehabilitation”, “care”, “embodied rhythm”, and “social robot” represent the hottest topics and leading trends in robotic technology applications for children with autism spectrum disorder.

Özet

Bu çalışmada, bibliyometrik analiz kullanılarak otizm spektrum bozukluğu olan çocuklarda robot teknolojisi uygulamalarının kullanımına ilişkin çalışmaların odağını, tematik eğilimlerini ve gelişimini değerlendirmek amaçlanmıştır. Retrospektif ve tanımlayıcı özellikler taşıyan bu çalışmada, Web of Science veri tabanında, otizm spektrum bozukluğu olan çocuklarda robot teknolojisi uygulamalarının kullanımıyla ilgili İngilizce literatür incelenmiştir. Veri analizinde, RStudio programı ve bir R uygulaması olan “biblioshiny” aracı kullanılmıştır. Her makale dergi, yazar, atıf, ülke, anahtar kelimeler ve konular açısından değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırmaya, 2000-2024 yılları arasında yayınlanan 823 makale dahil edilmiştir. Makalelerin yıllık büyüme oranı %16.1’dir. En üretken ülke Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ve en üretken yazar Kerstin Dautenhahn’dır. En çekirdek/merkezi ve en çok atıf alan ilk iki dergi International Journal of Social Robotics ve Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders'tır. “İnsan robot etkileşimi”, “robot asistan terapisi”, “taklit”, “rehabilitasyon”, “bakım”, “somutlaşmış ritim” ve “sosyal robot” terimleri otizm spektrum bozukluğu olan çocuklarda robot teknolojisi uygulamalarının en sıcak konuları ve öncü eğilimlerini temsil etmektedir.
