"4976","Using social robots to study abnormal social development","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 abnormal social development. Autism is a pervasive developmental disorder that is characterized by social and communicative impairments. Based on three years of integration and immersion with a clinical research group which performs more than 130 diagnostic evaluations of children for autism per year, this paper discusses how social robots will make an impact on the ways in which we diagnose, treat, and understand autism.","http://cogprints.org/4976/","Scassellati, Brian","Berthouze, Luc and Kaplan, Frédéric and Kozima, Hideki and Yano, Hiroyuki and Konczak, Jürgen and Metta, Giorgio and Nadel, Jacqueline and Sandini, Giulio and Stojanov, Georgi and Balkenius, Christian","       <span class=\"person_name\">Scassellati, Brian</span>     (2005)  <a href=\"http://cogprints.org/4976/\"><em>Using social robots to study abnormal social development.</em></a>       [Conference Paper]           ","","2005"
