abstract = {In caring for special needs children, for example, those with autism, there should be alternatives for the parents and guardians of these children. In this instance, aside from fellow humans, care robots should be considered. Therefore, this review paper synthesizes the results from several primary literature on the feasibility of using robots to care for children with special needs. Digesting and summarizing on the literature reviewed within this scope, it is not currently feasible for robots to care for children much so for those with special needs. More concrete evidences are required for parents and guardians to put faith in a machine as a replacement for a human care giver. © 2017 IEEE.},

abstract = {Humanoids as a form of assistive technologies have been shown to have positive effects on the social-cognitive behavior of brain-impaired children, particularly those with autism. However, evidences on the socio-economic benefits in social-skill training on brain-impaired children have been lacking. At the preliminary stage, a case study of a primary school with special classes for gifted children is the case study for pretesting purposes. As it is, interviewers with teachers at the special integration classes form the basis for primary data collection. Findings indicated that the teachers, parents and guardians of these children are not ready for humanoids to train their children but in future such attempts are encouraged. Nonetheless, this paper will highlight the socio-economic benefits of humanoid-assisted social skills training of children with autism. This is important in preparing them for adulthood and independence. In addition, from the literature reviewed, content analyses on humanoid-mediated research articles provide the preliminary empirical support. Evidences and outcomes from similar research projects conducted from social scientists in developing nations further narrows the objectives of the investigation. Theoretical implication from this study is also discussed. © 2017 IEEE.},

abstract = {Assistive technologies in the form of humanoids have gained mileage in the area of rehabilitation, in particular, for children with various mental disabilities such as autism. The extent of the use of humanoids in augmenting these children are numerous yet, the social inclusiveness in the form of religious values, spirituality and ethics have hardly been explored. In these new and ambiguous dimensions, evidences of inclusiveness through repeated observations and interviews as well as secondary data analyses formed the hybrid methodology for this research project. The findings revealed a positive influence by humanizing humanoids in the social skill augmentation, religious and spiritual enhance of the scope. In attempting such a sensitive project, proper ethical procedures have to be in place because of the focus group. The implications of the findings are important in drafting relevant policies not just in educating the children, but to improve their quality of life, enriching the family well-being and enhance societal awareness for social inclusiveness. © 2017 The Authors.},

abstract = {In the study of theology relevant to contemporary advances in science and technology, the underpinnings with regards to the religious and spiritual outcomes have to be considered. In the case of humanoids for spiritual augmentation of children with various brain impairments, the religious implications to the children and their families require adequate support prior to the sessions. Hence, this paper provides a review of a monotheistic religion, Islam, that is, the perceptions on the use of robots for spiritual augmentation of special-needs children within the context of the Islamic faith. This is important to teachers and researchers in anticipating better outcomes and in contradicting the debate on psychedelic consequences. © 2017 The Authors.},

abstract = {Autism is a permanent disorder that cause quality of life disturbance. As matter of research, there are no single interventions that can cure the heterogeneous syndrome. Since there is no cure for autism children, perhaps using humanoid can help the autism children in order to have appropriate therapy and treatment programs especially to the young children inflicted with it. Robots are normally used for industrial work, but hardly for therapy. Robots have been used to substitute human way back in the 19th century. They are beneficial to society regardless of the fields that they are being utilized. The health sector has been identified as one of the fields that benefit most as a result of using robotics. For decades, people fascinated with the technology's fiction of robots that look and act like a human Therefore, humanoid robots give benefits towards autism therapy for early detection. Many studies have been done in order to determine the ways to conduct autism treatment However, there is no study on cost and benefit analysis conducted using humanoid as a treatment for autism children. Therefore, this study will focus on the cost and benefit analysis of using humanoid for Malaysian autism children. © 2014 IEEE.},
