Social robotics could be a promising method for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) treatment. The aim of this article is to carry out a systematic literature review of the studies on this topic that were published in the last 10 years. We tried to address the following questions: can social robots be a useful tool in autism therapy? We care about results and impact. Through years of research, development, and partnerships with schools and centers around the world, we have seen that Autistic students using the robots4autism curriculum show observable increases in engagement: eye contact, body language and social interactions
