%T Using social robots to study
abnormal social development
%X Social robots recognize and respond to human
social cues with appropriate behaviors.
Social robots, and the technology used in their
construction, can be unique tools in the study
of abnormal social development. Autism is a
pervasive developmental disorder that is characterized
by social and communicative impairments.
Based on three years of integration
and immersion with a clinical research
group which performs more than 130 diagnostic
evaluations of children for autism per
year, this paper discusses how social robots
will make an impact on the ways in which we
diagnose, treat, and understand autism.
