This robot is specially designed for children with autism, providing highly personalized support based on each child’s unique sensory processing patterns and arousal levels. Equipped with advanced language and emotion recognition systems, laser-display technology, and a variety of sensors, the robot instantly responds to the child’s actions, creating a safe, controlled, and individualized environment for social skills training.
