Role of Robotics in Improving Social Ability of Autistic Children

Autism is a mental condition present form early childhood and is characterized as a great difficulty in communicating and making relationships with other people and using language and abstract concepts. Treatments for this condition could be teaching social skills. For teaching these social skills robotics may play a vital role. Here in this paper the research aims to show how with the help of Robotics we could not only help Autistic children to improve their social abilities but could also gain information about their personal interest or what kind of hobby they might chose or may be interested in. These robots could help them engage into their hobbies and help grow furthermore into the same. Earlier studies usually depicted use of humanoid robots in improving social skills of Autistic children but here with Supervised Machine learning through imitating behaviour of normal child into a robot we can let autistic children interact with them. The idea is using a Robot which acts just same as a normal child to interact with these autistic children to help them grow and develop in particular field of their interest.
