- Therapuetic robots with increasing autonomy have developed considerably in the last 20 years. Despite this, there are real challenges of developing an autonomous system. This paper examines how this can be done in relation to developing robots for children with autism. As children are a vulnerable user-group, such robots needs to be have sensors developed that can meet both the technical requirements as well as the ethical, social and therapuetic requirements of the system. This paper examines this in relation to the development of a supervised autonomous system.
