We chose this topic because it is an increasingly integrated topic in our society, in which it can be identified as an opportunity for Entrepreneurship. In order to obtain a consistent and updated study, we chose to use a quantitative method, through a questionnaire for people aged between 18 and 60. With this study it would be possible to identify the environment associated with Social Robots and people's opinions as to the topic. We present our non-applied study method, considering the small sample obtained. This made it possible to conclude forms of entrepreneurship and innovation related to the sectors of activity identified in the literature review.engSocial robotsBenefitsRegulationChallengesEmotional intelligencetext
