Digital technologies like robots have a big impact on how mankind develops. They have brought up necessary issues regarding what we should do with, what risk they pose, and lastly what we must do to manage those risks (Müller, V. C. 2020, April 30). People with autism have trouble interacting and communicating with others. Here comes the huge help of the social robots for people with autism and ASD by enhancing their social abilities, teaching constructive actions, and offering encouraging feedback. This type of therapy is called Robotic-Enhanced Therapy (Quinn, Angela, 2023). Furthermore, Robotic-Enhanced Therapy is used for patients with mental and speech problems, such as dementia and Alzheimer’s diseases. Also, people after stroke, or any other disease that affect their speech and communicating with others. In order to better understand the concept of mind capacities for social robots and any possible ethical problems that could come up while applying social robots in healthcare environments, we must admit that social robots in medical treatment for autistic patients is useful and successful. At the same time, we should not ignore the fact that human touch is very important besides advanced technology tools.
