1. A method for adjusting behavior of a social robot with respect to a privacy class, comprising:
collecting, by the social robot, sensory inputs from a plurality of sensors, wherein the sensory inputs comprising user-related audio data recorded from a microphone, user-related image and video data received from a camera and user-related movements detected by a motion detector;
analyzing the sensory inputs by the social robot based on a privacy class of a plurality of privacy classes defined within the social robot, the privacy class comprising a category defining how the social robot interprets the sensory inputs in terms of a user's personal privacy in a social situation;
determining, by the social robot, a privacy rule, defined within the social robot, based on the privacy class and the a nalyzed sensory inputs, the determined privacy rule being indicative of actions that may be executed by the social robot to interact with the user; initiating an engagement of the social robot with the user based on the determined privacy rule;
wherein the plurality of privacy class includes various levels of privacy classes having various sensitivity levels; and
wherein initiating an engagement of the user is dependent on a determined sensitivity level.
