Android studies could shine a light onto Autism

MacDorman worked with Ishiguro on the development of Repliee Q1Expo, an android that was introduced to the world at the 2005 World Exposition in Aizu, Japan.
'One advantage of using an android as an experimental apparatus is that it can be more precisely controlled than a human actor. It also has a physical presence, which is lacked by a video or computer simulation of a human being. An android offers a good balance between experimental control and ecological validity because it looks more human than other devices and can support more humanlike interaction while still being precisely controllable. The challenge today is to develop 'mindful' machines that use [physical] movements that can be experienced as expressions of purpose and intention."
