This article explores the application of humanoid robots in educational interventions for children with autism, a field of study that has gained attention due to the potential of these technologies to facilitate learning and social interaction. Through a comprehensive literature review, carried out in various databases between 2015 and 2023, we identified the main robots used to assist this specific population. The selection of studies focused on research that presented concrete strategies for using robots, excluding systematic reviews, theoretical proposals without practical intervention and studies that did not involve humanoid robots. In total, 35 studies were analyzed, highlighting the functionalities of the robots, the target behaviors in the interventions and the results obtained. This work contributes to the field of educational and therapeutic robotics, offering valuable insights for researchers, developers and special education professionals when choosing humanoid robots as support tools for children with autism, with a view to more effective social and educational integration.
