Abstract

You may have noticed that more and more stories about social robots have appeared over the last decade. During the Covid-19 pandemic, robots were applied in different areas to help people because they were safe and convenient. In hospitals, for example, Moxi, a social delivery robot, can deliver medication, supplies or lab samples. In nursing, a social robot can care for old people: for example, a robot called Pepper helped patients with dementia. We've even seen robots assist staff to deliver food in restaurants, such as Balla who is working in Dublin's Senbazuru Izakaya.
