Abstract

A range of chronic difficulties known as autism spectrum disorders interfere with social interactions and communication. The state of the art shows how robots in particular can provide potential methods to advance ASD research and treatment. This review aims to investigate how robot-assisted therapy techniques support children with autism in increasing social contact and in imitating, recognizing, and expressing their feelings. If robots appear to be useful tools for assistive therapies was one of the paper's main questions. The study team behind this publication came to the conclusion that robots are extremely effective in the intervention process and provide ASD youngsters with a predictable and secure setting. In addition to the aforementioned, this project also discusses ethical concerns that therapists and researchers should keep in mind while human-robot interaction is taking place.
