Abstract

In this chapter, the author introduces and expands upon the use of robots for social assistance with children who have autism spectrum disorders and other similar conditions. The social skills these robots can assist autistic children with are identified, and five specific robots (NAO, Milo, Kaspar, QTrobot, and Moxie) developed for use with autistic children are reviewed. Each robot is described in terms of specifications functionality and price, and a practical example of its use is also included. Additionally, advantages, disadvantages, and research-based outcomes are discussed.
