Robótica e transtorno do espectro autista em publicações com foco educacional escolar

Abstract

This article aims to carry out a survey of publications that addresses the intersection of robotics and autism in the educational field. Through the literature review of methodology, a survey was carried out in the Capes and Scielo portals, usingkeywords and applied filters with the intention of refining the search for articles that, in fact, established a relationship between autism, robotics and education. After applying the filters, we located 10 articles on the topic and identified four approaches expressed in each: the use of technology with a school educational focus; use of robotics in therapy sessions in the school environment; existing technologies for use by people with autism; and professionals' perspective on the use of robotics. The study showed little progress on the relationship between robotics and autism in the school environment, which indicates the need for more research on the subject.
