As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly integrated into children's therapeutic environments, social robots are emerging as one of the most clinically complex AI applications for pediatric autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This mini-review examines three under-validated "blind-spot" domains: robot-wearable sensor integration, immersive VR-robot hybrid systems, and generative AI conversational interfaces. Although these technologies offer promising opportunities for adaptive and personalized intervention, cu…
The problem
A mini-review of pediatric autism robotics found that wearable-sensor, VR-hybrid and generative-AI robots rest on small pilot studies, so they cannot yet be supported as primary therapeutic interventions.
What this doesn’t fix
The roadmap is a theoretical construct derived from fragmented pilot data and requires prospective multisite testing, and its thresholds cannot be generalized beyond pediatric autism populations without separate validation.

How to check it yourself, without trusting this page
Download any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-2529 and hash its canonical field yourself, for example with shasum -a 256. You should get its content_hash. Each version’s text also ends with prev:and the hash of the version before it (version 1 points to 64 zeros). If anyone had changed a single character of any version after it was saved, those hashes wouldn’t line up.
