Abstract in brief

  • Robots are currently used in healthcare, education, and business to provide benefits like reducing loneliness and facilitating communication, even though they are not yet as humanlike as those in movies.
  • Engineers designing human-like robots need to understand human cognition, emotions, and behavior, which leads them to study how humans interact with both other humans and robots, revealing tendencies such as social mimicry and emotional attachment.
  • There are concerns about the ethical implications of robots, including deception, privacy, job loss, safety, and the impact on human relationships, making the field of human-robot interaction an important area where psychology can offer valuable insights.]
