| Abstract: | This work examines the appeal of robotics to children with autism and the potential of using robots as a therapeutic and educational tool. A comparative experimental study was designed and implemented including three appropriately selected activities, one of which involved robots. The results provide further evidence regarding the positive role of robotics activities in special education and supports the idea of systematically exploiting these new possibilities, while investing in relevant scientific research. |
