Often the fear of the new and the different makes us think of silly things. How to believe that a robot cannot share time with kids and make them feel good and happy.

Do you know who most of all are benefiting from the machines we build? Children with autism: thanks to robots they have a more beautiful childhood and adolescence.

So the child and android interactions already work, while so many of us continue to have unnecessary and unfounded worries.

They look the same to me as my grandmother had when they started selling microwaves. And she was talking a lot of nonsense. That was dangerous. That it was radioactive and it hurt us.

I swear it happened. Now the poor thing was at an advanced age. And she was born before the Second World War. In short, in another era and I justify it a little.

But today many parents born in the world of computers and electric cars cannot but wipe out certain fears.

But if you don’t believe me now I will bring you some examples and information that industry experts say.

ROBOTS REMOVE NEGATIVE THOUGHTS

Robots for children are designed to conquer them not with their intelligence but with their sociability. And that’s what they may need too.

If by any chance you are thinking that, I am not saying that they have to replace soccer or football games on the street or cycling and mountain tours with the boyscout.

But you need to know that robots are sociable. It is good that it is clear. I don’t say it, but the engineers and researchers who build them certify it.

They also explain it in one of the most prestigious universities in Italy. The Sant’Anna of Pisa.

“Innovative technologies such as robotic technologies can be of great use to contribute to improving the quality of life. Removing people from negative thoughts and helping to intensify the person’s overall well-being.”

And they all seem positive and beneficial to me. But how can they be so sure?

The Italian researchers did an experiment with their robot. It is called KuBo.

“KuBo is a home assistant that is easy to use, friendly, discreet and with which people can interact with a simple tablet or just with their own voice.”

This artificial company can be of help to the elderly for example. Lonely people. But also to children.

And the case of autistic children is a case in point.

If a machine is good for an autistic child, people cannot continue to be afraid of robots. Or to see a child with a robot.
