An overview of various potential applications of social robots is provided in this paper. In addition, the latest research progress in our institute is presented, i.e., multi-party interaction, gesture recognition, affective computing, and attention capture. All the research and applications demonstrate that social robots are good assistive robots for people with special needs.
