Humanoid robot works in therapy for children with autism
Children with autism have special difficulty in expressing emotions, usually have no social skills and face major problems when communicating. In order to help children with this problem learn to recognize facial expressions in themselves and in others, a group of researchers created a robot using artificial intelligence. Ref. Source 3w.
A lot of people say children with autism can be similar to robots. They ca be repetitive or seem unemotional about anything but not all are like that. Still, this is a great initiative because whatever gives hope to an autism parent is a +1 in my books.
