abstract: |-
  Children with autism have difficulties in social
  interaction with other people and much attention
  in recent years has been directed to robots as therapy
  tools. We studied the social interaction between
  children with autism and robots longitudinally
  to observe developmental changes in their
  performance. We observed children at a special
  school for six months and analyzed their performance
  with robots. The results showed that two
  children adapted to the experimental situations
  and developed interaction with the robots. This
  suggests that they changed their interaction with
  the robots from an object-like one into an agentlike
  one.
