Summary/Abstract: Robots among people are not science fiction anymore. Discussions have already started on how to integrate robots into various aspects of our lives. We use robots in factories for quite some time now. Autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles are being used for both civilian and military purposes. Nowadays, smart transportation is one of the hottest research topics. Moreover, medical robots are showing promise. The scientific literature on humanoid robots and social robotics are building up. Currently, there are social humanoid robots available for purchase at affordable prices. Even though social robots are limited in their capabilities, they show prospect for various commercial, educational, and research purposes. We now envision organizations in which robots and humans collaborate. As artificial intelligence in robots becomes more capable, robots will assume roles, conduct various tasks and collaborate with people in organizations. In this study, we discuss various issues related to integrating robots into organizations.
