DESCRIPTION:The World Health Organisation (WHO) underscores the prevalence
  of mental health issues among adults and children on a global scale. Rece
 nt research in the fields of human-robot interaction and social robotics h

 and Robotics Lab in these areas and will illustrate the challenges and opp
 ortunities of social robotics for promoting wellbeing with a number of cas
 e studies\, with insights for short- and long-term adaptation and percepti
