    📅 2003🏛 Robotics and Autonomous Systems, Vol. 42, Issues 3–4, pp. 143–166, DOI: 10.1016/S0921-8890(02)00372-X
    Problem

    Need for a comprehensive review of concepts, design methods and applications of robots for which social human-robot interaction is important.

    Method

    Presentation of a taxonomy of design methods and system components, survey of the state of the art, and discussion of impact on humans.

    Finding

    A unified framework for understanding socially interactive robots and identification of open research issues in HRI.

    Limitations

    The paper dates from the early 2000s and does not cover later advances such as deep learning or commercial service robots.

    Practical application

    Still used as a classic reference in HRI education and research. Its concepts remain foundational for designing a humanoid service robot that must interact safely and naturally with people.
