Security Aspects of Social Robots in Public Spaces: A Systematic Mapping Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

As social robots increasingly integrate into public spaces, comprehending their security implications becomes paramount. This study is conducted amidst the growing use of social robots in public spaces (SRPS), emphasising the necessity for tailored security standards for these unique robotic systems.

Methods

In this systematic mapping study (SMS), we meticulously review and analyse existing literature from the Web of Science database, following guidelines by Petersen et al. We employ a structured approach to categorise and synthesise literature on SRPS security aspects, including physical safety, data privacy, cybersecurity, and legal/ethical considerations.

Results

Our analysis reveals a significant gap in existing safety standards, originally designed for
