Abstract

One of the most fascinating trends in recent technology is “Social Robots”, born out of human intelligence. Soft Robots will soon become a vital organ of Human civilization. Social robots are robots that are designed in such a way that they can interact with other living organisms. The detailed study of interactions between a Social robotic system and humans is crucial in developing this technology. With the progress in this field, social robots are becoming more and more intelligent. Social robots are widely used in the healthcare sector, Disease diagnosis, and many other customer services. To better understand this field of Soft Robots and HRI, we decided to summarise both of these concepts. In this paper, we bisected the topic into two parts. In the First part, we tried to explain the basic definition of “Social Robots”, elaborated their architecture, perceptions about them, then we discussed few of the recent and famous Social robots of our time with specifications, it’s benefits and potential risks, and the future of Social robots. In the second part, we attempted to explain HRI and its current status, it’s supervisory control, teleoperations, automated vehicles, social interactions and discussed various human factors that are required to overcome few challenges in this field. Along with that, we discussed the future scope for HRI.
