## 1 Introduction
It emphasizes the dual role these robots play in healthcare and caregiving environments, combining emotional well-being and functional support within a single system. _SASRs can include one or both of these aspects, offering a holistic approach to improving the quality of care in various settings. Whether providing companionship and reducing isolation or assisting with mobility and medication reminders, SASRs play a crucial role in enhancing patient care._ The increasing integration of digital health in physiotherapy and the growing advancements in social robots, particularly in their ability to interact socially through artificial intelligence, are two key trends shaping the future of rehabilitation and assistance [10]. As these fields converge, it is crucial to explore how social robots can be utilized in rehabilitation and assistance. A proposed study on the actors of the health domain [10] assessed the consensus among professionals in the field regarding the introduction of social robots. Two groups of professionals, one in training and the other in practice, were surveyed to understand their views on the potential role of social robots in enhancing rehabilitation and assistance. The results indicated that professionals view social robots as valuable, complementary tools rather than replacements for human workers. They believe social robots can improve working capacity, assist in performance monitoring, and facilitate integration into clinical practices. Furthermore, there is a consensus that physiotherapists will play a central role in managing and overseeing the use of these devices. The study highlights the need for stakeholders to embrace these technologies and invest in training and initiatives to build consensus, especially as the population ages and the demand for care increases. As scholars and practitioners in the fields of rehabilitation, assistance, and caregiving, it is crucial to address these broad, interdisciplinary questions. They encompass not only mechtronics, neuroscience, and AI, but also bioengineering, ethics, economics, and regulatory policies. Understanding the evolution of social robotics, from its collaborative robotics roots to its current application in healthcare, is essential for developing a comprehensive conceptual framework. This framework will guide the responsible development and integration of these technologies, ensuring that their benefits are maximized while their risks are carefully managed. Assessing how the field of social and assistive robotics is stabilizing and evolving is crucial in today's rapidly advancing technological landscape, making an analysis of systematic reviews strategically important. In this context, the purpose of this study is to develop a narrative overview of systematic reviews to analyze the evolution and current state of integration of the SARSs in the health domain. The specific objectives of the study are as follows:  
* Analyze Overall Bibliometric Trends: Provide a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of research output in the field of social and assistance robotics, focusing on trends, key publications, and developments over time. * Identify Established Themes and Categories: Map out the key areas of focus within the systematic reviews, such as technological innovations, application domains (e.g., rehabilitation, assistance, and caregiving), and evaluation methodologies. * Examine Opportunities and limitations: Investigate the potential benefits and limitations of integrating robots into healthcare and caregiving settings. This includes exploring advancements in artificial intelligence and workflow efficiency, as well as identifying barriers related to infrastructure, regulatory frameworks, and professional training. By addressing these objectives, this overview aims to develop a robust conceptual framework that captures the dynamic evolution of social and assistance robotics and highlights the opportunities and challenges ahead.
