Social robots have come to make life more enjoyable, especially for the elderly and people with special needs. The new techniques of explainable artificial intelligence and serious multigenerational video games will allow us to fully exploit the qualities of these robots so that they are part of our daily lives. From the UGIVIA unit of the UIB we are working on two national research projects in order to be able to transfer results to real environments in our society in a short time.

Dear Francisco J. Perales,
Social robots can be very useful for humans in applications in various sectors of the economy. The SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic has increased the demand for social robots. Social robots are used in the sphere of helping sick people in hospitals, helping the elderly at home, they are intelligent toys for children, etc. Social robots are used wherever working conditions are difficult for people and, on the other hand, humanoid and intelligent machines are needed. Already during the first wave of the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic, in some hospitals, social robots helped medical staff to care for the sick, in city parks, social robots helped the police to patrol public places, in some cultural institutions and service establishments robots social centers play the role of information kiosks and customer advisers etc.
Best regards, Stay healthy!

A good analysis with a futuristic vision that I appreciate. The future will belong to artificial intelligence and its various applications. Robotics is one of those sectors that are being promoted, such as medical applications. good luck !

I am totally agree with your suggesions about the applications of social robotics. In our case are more oriented to elderly people because Europe in general are involved in a rapid ageing process and we need special avances in geron-robotics.
This paper is very interesting:
