This paper presents a review of the integration of quantum computing techniques into social robotics, focusing on the potential for enhancing robot adaptability, decision-making, and emotional intelligence.We analyze the current state of research, examining how quantum algorithms, such as Grover's algorithm, can be applied to improve human-robot interaction.The review, as a task of the QUADRI project (QUAntum-enhanceD human-Robot Interaction: Pioneering Intelligent Social Robotics), provides a comprehensive overview of the opportunities and challenges in this emerging field, setting the foundation for future research and practical applications in domains such as mental health, education, and workplace stress management.
