As AI-driven robotics increasingly integrate into the physical world, they bring both transformative opportunities and significant risks. The greater the level of autonomous intervention, the more complex safety concerns, regulatory challenges, and ethical dilemmas become. As a result regulations are becoming more stringent, such as the AI Act, especially in high-risk domains like healthcare, autonomous robotics, and industrial automation. However, the intensity of the regulatory process will also depend on broader ethical and societal impacts, not just physical interaction. This paper provides a critical integrative review of ethical, security, and societal implications of AI in robotics and assesses how emerging regulations attempt to address these concerns. It illustrates how the development, deployment, and governance of AI-supported robotic systems are being shaped by evolving regulations and societal expectations.
