WHAT IS HUMANOID ROBOTICS?
• Robotics is the science and technology of robots, their design, manufacture, application.
• Robotics requires a working knowledge of electronics, mechanics, and software.
• A humanoid robot is an autonomous robot because it can adapt to changes in its environment or itself and continue to reach its goal.
The word robotics was first used in print by Issac Asimov, in his science fiction short story "Runaround" (1941).
WHAT IS AUTISM?
• Autism is a disorder of neural development characterized by impaired social interaction and communication and by restricted and repetitive behavior.
• Autism affects information processing in the brain by altering how nerve cells and their synapses connect and organize.
• Current research suggests that 1 in every 300 children will be diagnosed with the broadly-defined autism spectrum disorder (ASD)
ROLE OF ROBOTS………..
• 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 autism.
• Social robots will make an impact on the ways in which we diagnose, treat, and understand autism.
ROBOTICS PROVIDE MOTIVATION AND ENGAGEMENT IN THERAPY..
• Dolls, a spherical robot ball with eyes, and an expressive snowman-like device.
• ESRA was programmed to perform a short script which included both a set of actions and an accompanying audio file that was played from speakers hidden near the robot
• The robot had no sensory capabilities and did not respond to anything that the child did.
• “social crutch,” a robot that motivates and engages children, teaches them social skills incrementally, and assists in the transfer of this knowledge to interactions with humans.
THREE FACIAL EXPRESSION OF ESRA
OBJECTIVE METRICS OF DIAGNOSIS

 Diagnostic problems associated with autism would be alleviated by two methods
 Through passive observation and through structured interactions with robots
 These metrics provide both an opportunity to compare populations of individuals in a standardized manner and the possibility of tracking the progress of a single individual across time
 This work is a performance based screening technique capable of detecting vulnerability for autism in infants and toddlers.
 Gaze patterns differ significantly between typical adolenscents and adolescents with autism
