Cover Story: We can certainly place among the most marvelous and shocking technological developments of recent years those of collaborative robotics and, among them, those related to social robotics. The social robot represents an important technological issue to deeply explore both from a technological and clinical point of view. Research and assessment of the impact of technology in this area is very active and focused on (a) research in biomechatronics, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence; (b) bioethics; and (c) economics and politics. In light of this, the goal of the study was to produce a deep analysis, useful in the field of research, without neglecting other aspects. In particular, we highlighted a map point and a conceptual contextualization of these technologies, starting from the roots, and investigated which direction these devices are taking and what we can expect in the future.
