SIRs are socially intelligent, which combines artificial intelligence, natural language processing, computer vision, and affective computing and allows them to engage with humans in a natural manner in a healthcare and assistive setting. These robots will be programmed to offer companionship, daily living, cognitive, and therapeutic interventions. The article discusses the evolution, uses and assessment of SIRs in healthcare context with references to patient-centered design, safety, and adaptable learning. The experimental research reveals better engagement of patients, efficiency of tasks and emotional comfort. The results emphasize the significance of social intelligence to better the interaction between the robots and humans and provide helpful health and supportive services.
