abstract = {Recent advances show that robots have unlimited potential to help the
disabled community by providing physical support, social engagement and
even co-therapy in collaboration with another human. For children with
autism, a robot in human shape might be able to help them to learn
better and encourage social-communication skills. To prove this, the key
initial step is to explore the initial response of children with autism
when they interact with a humanoid robot in an experimental setting. We
hypothesize that a robot's presence coupled with specific interplay
shall attract the children's attention to engage in robot-based
interaction. The initial responses will be utilized to seek association
between responses to the robot with the children's intelligence level.
Twelve autistic children with IQs between 44 and 107 were exposed to
different interactions. Behavior evaluation showed that in the presence
of the robot, lower autistic traits were recorded in the subscale of
stereotyped behavior and communication. Also, children with IQs higher
than 80 were more receptive to robot-based single exposure.},
