Using AI & Robotics to Help Individuals with Autism Age
Can a robot help people with autism as they age? That’s the question behind a unique research partnership between Bancroft and Saint Joseph’s University. Narrative Media helped to tell the story of Pepper, a humanoid robot residing at Bancroft’s Judith B. Flicker Residences, a program for older adults with autism and other intellectual and developmental disabilities. Pepper is helping care team’s and researchers better understand how technology can support healthy aging and meaningful connection.
