After watching a spot on the news about this project it seems that this robot is alot easier for autistic kids to relate to and interact with, it looks to be a good stepping stone to teach them how to interact with other people. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[trev]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 1st 2007 6:10AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on European robots assist children in forming relationships]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/01/european-robots-assist-children-in-forming-relationships/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/01/european-robots-assist-children-in-forming-relationships/</guid><description><![CDATA[Uncanny valley ftl.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Neebs]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 1st 2007 6:14AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on European robots assist children in forming relationships]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/01/european-robots-assist-children-in-forming-relationships/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/01/european-robots-assist-children-in-forming-relationships/</guid><description><![CDATA[This was on the news a few days ago. It's designed for autistic children who have difficulty in talking face to face to people. By copying the robot's actions they develop basic social skills that make them more able to communicate with people.<br><br>The robot is also designed not to be realistic as autistic children can have trouble reading facial expressions so it's been made deliberately un-lifelike]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[abigsmurf]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 1st 2007 6:25AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on European robots assist children in forming relationships]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/01/european-robots-assist-children-in-forming-relationships/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/01/european-robots-assist-children-in-forming-relationships/</guid><description><![CDATA[Moments before Chucky 2.0 pulled out a semi auto and shot the rather confused little Johnny for getting the question wrong, again.<br><br>Robots...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rynth]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 1st 2007 7:21AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on European robots assist children in forming relationships]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/01/european-robots-assist-children-in-forming-relationships/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/01/european-robots-assist-children-in-forming-relationships/</guid><description><![CDATA[Good lord, why did that child tear off the poor robot's legs???<br>He was only trying to help.<br><br>"Come with me if you want to learn."<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[poreilly]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 1st 2007 11:25AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on European robots assist children in forming relationships]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/01/european-robots-assist-children-in-forming-relationships/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/01/european-robots-assist-children-in-forming-relationships/</guid><description><![CDATA[Billy with his IROMEC robot teaching him at home.....<br><br>"That's right Billy, this is how to burn the house dow-"<br><br>door opens, mom comes in<br><br>"My name is Robo-John, and I love Billy.
