The paper provides an overview of the emerging field of social robotics and mediation research. It highlights the potential of a social robot mediator in a multiparty setting, particularly in education and healthcare. The paper also explores the importance of incorporating psychological principles in developing social robot mediators and the potential of implementing a Theory of Mind in a social robot mediator. This framework could significantly improve mediation by enabling the robot to read individual and group mental states for effective interaction.
