Application of robots in improving joint attention and imitation skills for children with autism: a comprehensive review

Increasing interest on autism brings about prospect of use of Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) method as an assistive tool for therapy. This article presents a review of contemporary topic related to HRI studies to facilitate the improvement of joint attention and imitation skill for ASD children. This...
