Summary
An increasing number of projects worldwide are investigating the possibility of including robots in assessment and therapy practices for individuals with autism. There are two major reasons for considering this possibility: the special interest of autistic people in robots and electronic tools, and the rapid developments in multidisciplinary studies on the nature of social interaction and on autism as atypical social behavior.
Several branches of the social sciences and neurosciences, which aim to understand the social brain, advocate the perspective that social behaviors (e.g. shared attention, turn taking, and imitation) have evolved as an additional functionality of a general sensorimotor system for action. The basic feature of this system is the existence of a common representation between perception for action and the action itself. An extended social brain system facilitates processing of emotional stimuli, empathy, and perspective taking.
