Robot scientists and child development scientists are coming together to make moving robots that can help teach children with autism.
Moving robots are able to provide therapy to children with autism by being a constant teaching tool. In this article the authors describe two types of robots and the issues that come with designing robots for children. They state that robots should be tested in the real world with children to make sure children like them. In order for the robot to be helpful to the child, the designer needs to have a precise idea of how the robot is supposed to help the child. The authors conclude that better robots are being designed each year as therapists and engineers work together to meet the needs of the children.
