Abstract

The study and measurement of manual actions and forces in infants is important in a variety of contexts because it can give insights on the typical and atypical motor development. Novel approaches for measuring infants' manual actions are based on sensorized platform, such as instrumented wireless toys, to be exploited in natural settings. A new sensorized wireless toy with embedded pressure sensors and audiovisual feedback has been designed and developed. Laboratory results show that the toy dimensions are fulfilling with infants' anthropometrics and confirm the hypothesis that such instrumented toys could be useful for monitoring and measuring infants' motor development.
