Imagine a robot companion that helps autistic children learn crucial skills such as taking turns, initiating play, smiling, pointing, and so much more. Socially Assistive Robots (SARs) have the potential to revolutionize the way we approach social development in autism. They offer consistent support, engaging interactions, and personalized interventions tailored to each child's unique needs.
