  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.
