11 Jul, 2012 21:47 CET  -   University of Texas at Arlington
Zeno doesn’t make judgments. He has empathetic eyes in a beautiful hazel hue. His lifelike skin is called Frubber and allows his face to smile, frown and look inquisitive.

Zeno is a two-foot tall robot that has facial expressions, can walk and can gesture with two hands.

But most importantly, researchers believe Zeno may be able to help diagnose autism in infants and toddlers – before traditional diagnoses that...
