“…Smart home sensors could be used to determine where an operator is if the robot is called for support, enhancing navigation and minimizing the time looking for an operator. Some studies have gone as far to include body sensors as part of the ecosystem [49]. The research done in [49] on sensor fusion provided a wealth of data that allows for Dynamic Bayesian Network (DBN)-based event recognition and context detection.…”

“…Some studies have gone as far to include body sensors as part of the ecosystem [49]. The research done in [49] on sensor fusion provided a wealth of data that allows for Dynamic Bayesian Network (DBN)-based event recognition and context detection. Auditory perception services, human position and vitals tracking were all recorded, allowing for enhanced detection of critical events such as speech and fall detection.…”

The aging population is growing at an unprecedented rate globally and robotics-enabled solutions are being developed to provide better independent living for older adults. In this study, we report the results from a systematic review of the state-of-the-art in home robotics research for caring for older adults. This review aims to address two questions: (1) What research is being done towards integrating robotics for caring for older adults? (2) What are the research and technology challenges that robots are facing in the home? Sixty-three papers have been identified and studied in this review by following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Common themes that are consistent across the reviewed papers are distinguished and consolidated as follows: (1) Ambient assisted living, where smart home environments and physical support tools are studied; (2) Robot ecosystem, where robotic devices are used to provide various services; (3) Social interaction, where the social isolation problem has been targeted. We also summarize the results of similar literature reviews we came across during our search. The results of this study present the current research trends and technologies used in each category. The challenges and limitations of robotics applications are also identified. Suggestions for accelerating the deployment of robots at home for providing older adults with independent care in the home are presented based on the results and insights from this study.

“…The special home service robot is one type of the assistive robots to help them in normal living [1][2][3][4]. There are a few designs on automatic service robots for dressing and wearing shoes or socks at present [5][6][7][8][9]. They are mostly helpful for dressing and wearing shoes or socks.…”

In order to realize the automation and integration of wearing and taking off shoes and socks, a service robot for wearing and taking off footwear was designed to help persons living with waist or leg problems in this paper. Through the analysis of the process of wearing and taking off shoes and socks, the robot could carry out this work automatic. The robot mainly consists of intelligent identification system, device for wearing and removing shoes or socks, mobile mechanical arm and power drive with control system. In addition, an auxiliary foot lifting device is designed to cooperate with the service robot for wearing and taking off footwear. The virtual motion simulation of the machine is carried out, and the feasibility of the machine function and the rationality of the structure design are analyzed here.

Robots are increasingly used in health care, in different forms and with promising results. The newest generation of human‐like communication robots is of most interest for media psychologists. This entry discusses how communication robots have been shown to keep senior citizens company, improve their mental and physical health, and reduce loneliness. For children with special needs, in particular in the autism spectrum, social robots can improve their social skills, support (hospitalized) children, help them cope with various health issues, and reduce distress from treatments. Observations indicate that lonely people and children with special needs easily bond to a communication robot. This entry discusses how and why people may become friends with a mechanical robot. It further discusses the limitations of current research with care robots, related ethical issues, and suggests areas for future research addressing media psychological perspectives on the use of robots in health care.
