ROBOTS
Robots are made of roughly the same components
as human beings: a body structure with moveable
joints; a muscle system outfitted with motors andactuators to move. A robot is computerized and
works based on computed commands and orders.

Robots are used to replace human beings
sometime in applying simple tasks that require
basic movement or action. They have helped inexpanding technology to a whole new level and
enhance the way we thing to keep on improving
in this specific field.

Every twenty minutes a child in the
U.S is diagnosed with autism. But
despite the surge in cases there hasbeen no way to ID whats really
taking place inside the autistic mind,
until now !

THE DISCOVERY:
The discovery is a simple machine that can know if the child is
stressed or not
Computer engineer in Vanderbilt University Nilanjan Sarkar, Ph.D
build a mind reading robot.
This robot literally reads a kids mind and can determine hismood.
For the robot to know the kids mood, the kid must be playing a
simple game of hoops with a medical twist.

HOW DOES THE ROBOT WORK:
The robot determines the kids mood based on the way he/she is
playing.
The robot changes the speed of the game by adding relaxing
music for example or by speeding up the game to let the kid relax
and put him/her in a better mood. Heart rate, skin temperature, and muscle movements are main
references that the robot refers to for action.

The robot helps doctors know what triggers anxiety and tension in
autistic kids.
Researches found the robot identified a childs correct mood 80
percent of the time by having an experienced therapist do thesame work at the same time.
The robot is undoubtedly a great success and can adapt to the
behavior of a kid to know more about how he is going to react and
why.

A FINAL WORD ABOUT THE
DISCOVERY AND FUTURE WORK THAT
IS PLANNED: Some help, some hoops and a lot of understanding. For kids, its
a slam dunk.
Autistic kids work better with robots because theyre more
predictable and consistent than humans.
Researches main goal now is to create smaller robots to workwith kids in their homes.

Research on this topic
began in 2008 and until
today work is still being
done to develop the
concept to create a mini
robot for kids to use athome.

The experiment was held with the help of Vanderbilt University
that put all of its effort to reach such an amazing result.
What makes this experiment so important is its breathtaking idea
that robot can actually read an autistic kids mind.
Never before has this idea been mentioned and this is why itcaught the eye of many and made many researchers interesting
in being part of a life changing experiment.

THE FUTURE OF AUTISM:
Vanderbilt university stated that about 1 in 88 children has been
identified with an autism spectrum disorder according to estimates
from CDCs autism and developmental disabilities and based on
the research that is being held this percentage is going to
decrease in the next five years.
A project related to the robot created is being worked on and is
expected to show results in the year 2020 that will not only read
autistic kids minds but also allow them to communicate.

INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT
AUTISM
Parents who have a child with an ASD have a 2%-18% chance of
having a second child who is also affected.
A small percentage of children who are born prematurely or with
low birth weight are at greater risk for having ASDs.
ASDs are reported to occur in all racial, ethnic, andsocioeconomic groups.
ASDs are almost 5 times more common among boys than among
girls
