Abstract
In this chapter, we discuss robotics and the use of socially assistive robots (SAR) for autism. While virtual agents and animated toys are sometimes considered robots, this chapter focuses on physical instantiations (both anthropomorphic and humanoid) capable of carrying out behaviorally or socially contingent actions (both autonomously and operated by humans).
