Autism Spectrum Disorders is a group of lifelong disabilities that affect people's communication and underlying social messages. The state of the art is an indication of how technology, and in particular robotics, can offer promising tools to enhance research and treatment in ASD. This review represents an attempt to investigate how robot-assistive therapy strategies help children with autism increase social interaction and to imitate, recognize and express feelings. One of the major questions of this paper was if the robots appear to be effective means in assistive therapies. The research team of this paper concluded that robots are discovered to be a predictable and secure environment for ASD children and to be quite efficient in the intervention process. In addition to the above-mentioned, this project also broaches ethical issues that should be taken into consideration by the researchers and therapists during human-robot interplay.

The current paper review gives a brief and representative description of the role that artificial intelligence plays nowadays at the assessment of autism. Therefore, many researchers note that artificial intelligence plays a notable role in the early diagnosis of autism since it helps the clinicians shorten the diagnose process and have more accurate results. Thus, the research team of this paper presents some applications of artificial intelligence that are used already or are in a preliminary phase aiming to highlight the use of smart technology in the diagnosing process of autism. Lastly, it is worth noting that an early and accurate diagnose is the key point for an individualized and successful intervention which aids the academic as well as the personal de-velopment of the child.

A range of chronic difficulties known as autism spectrum disorders interfere with social interactions and communication. The state of the art shows how robots in particular can provide potential methods to advance ASD research and treatment. This review aims to investigate how robot-assisted therapy techniques support children with autism in increasing social contact and in imitating, recognizing, and expressing their feelings. If robots appear to be useful tools for assistive therapies was one of the paper's main questions. The study team behind this publication came to the conclusion that robots are extremely effective in the intervention process and provide ASD youngsters with a predictable and secure setting. In addition to the aforementioned, this project also discusses ethical concerns that therapists and researchers should keep in mind while human-robot interaction is taking place.
