Youth Is Served
From newborns to teenagers, children are the focus of breakthrough projects at UT Arlington. Researchers from a range of fields are developing creative solutions to childhood concerns such as sudden infant death syndrome, autism, substance abuse, and coordination disorders.
Programmed to treat autism
Zeno has empathetic eyes in a beautiful hazel hue and can walk and gesture with two hands. His lifelike skin is called Frubber and allows his face to smile, frown, and look inquisitive. But he doesn’t make judgments.

Coordinated effort
