          Abstract

          Resumen Los trastornos del espectro autista (TEA) son alteraciones del neurodesarrollo caracterizados por dificultades en interacción social, con principal hincapié en la comunicación, sea esta verbal y no verbal. La investigación y desarrollo aplicada en TEA se centra en hallar estrategias terapéuticas adecuadas y que sean focalizadas en el individuo, valiéndose de todos los recursos que estén al alcance (interfaces virtuales, realidad virtual, entornos 3D, robótica, etc). Así, el uso de tecnologías para mejorar y estimular particularmente la comunicación de los niños con TEA ha aumentado en los últimos tiempos de manera exponencial. Estas herramientas en contextos terapéuticos posibilitan una generalización del comportamiento hacia contextos naturales del niño. Por lo tanto, el uso de un software personalizado en dispositivos móviles permitirá que se avance con su tratamiento fuera del ámbito clínico pudiendo utilizarlo en su casa/escuela para comunicarse con sus vínculos sociales cercanos.

          Translated abstract

          Abstract Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) refers to neurodevelopmental problems characterized by difficulties in social interaction, especially verbal or nonverbal communication. Research on ASD focuses in finding appropriate solutions for a patient, using all available resources (virtual interfaces, virtual reality, 3D environments, robotics, etc.) in order to develop therapeutic strategies. Therefore, the use of technologies to improve and stimulate communication, particularly in children with ASD, has increased exponentially in recent years. When used in therapeutic contexts, these tools allow a generalization of a child's behavior towards a natural context. Hence, the use of customized softwares for mobile devices will allow progress in treating ASD beyond a clinical setting and may be used at home/school to communicate with their close social peers.

          Robots for use in autism research.

          Autism spectrum disorders are a group of lifelong disabilities that affect people's ability to communicate and to understand social cues. Research into applying robots as therapy tools has shown that robots seem to improve engagement and elicit novel social behaviors from people (particularly children and teenagers) with autism. Robot therapy for autism has been explored as one of the first application domains in the field of socially assistive robotics (SAR), which aims to develop robots that assist people with special needs through social interactions. In this review, we discuss the past decade's work in SAR systems designed for autism therapy by analyzing robot design decisions, human-robot interactions, and system evaluations. We conclude by discussing challenges and future trends for this young but rapidly developing research area.

            Towards interactive robots in autism therapy: Background, motivation and challenges

            This article discusses the potential of using interactive environments in autism therapy. We specifically address issues relevant to the Aurora project, which studies the possible role of autonomous, mobile robots as therapeutic tools for children with autism. Theories of mindreading, social cognition and imitation that informed the Aurora project are discussed and their relevance to the project is outlined. Our approach is put in the broader context of socially intelligent agents and interactive environments. We summarise results from trials with a particular mobile robot. Finally, we draw some comparisons to research on interactive virtual environments in the context of autism therapy and education. We conclude by discussing future directions and open issues.

              Defining the social deficits of autism: the contribution of non-verbal communication measures.

              Young autistic children were compared to normal and control samples on measures of non-verbal communication skills and object play skills. Deficits in non-verbal indicating behaviors best discriminated the children diagnosed as autistic from the other groups. Although the autistic children also exhibited deficits in object play behavior, these deficits did not add appreciably to the discriminant function based on the non-verbal communication behaviors. These results suggest that a deficit in the development of non-verbal indicating behaviors is a significant characteristic of young children who receive the diagnosis of autism.
