Opportunities and Problems of the Consensus Conferences in the Care Robotics

“…Among the lights, we highlight the following: (a) the CC tool, [ 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 28 , 30 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 38 , 39 ], was used in the fields of rehabilitation, diagnostics, therapy, and surgery , on all applications of consolidated CRs [ 1 ], (with the exception of Social Robots, which are still subject to technological stabilization processes). (b) The CCs were the opportunity to: (1) bring together national and international experts from different cultural backgrounds in national and international meetings, (1) make them work around a structured and wide-ranging review process.…”

“…The search [ 22 ] returns 17 results [ 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 ].…”

“…After an analysis of the records, 4 studies were discarded because they were not completely relevant. The 13 remaining references are the following [ 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 28 , 30 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 38 , 39 ].…”

“…Table 1 highlights the detected sectors [ 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 28 , 30 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 38 , 39 ] dedicated to rehabilitation, diagnostics, therapy, and surgery.…”

“…Each CC, reported in the Table 1 , Appendix A.1 , faces the robotics in a highly specific clinical question; this allows experts to better focus on a question and investigate the problem in more detail. The CC deals with a specific topic, as for example [ 23 ] the robot in neurological rehabilitation (a specific sector of rehabilitation) . Again, for example, the surgical robot in Radical Cystectomy (a specific surgical sector) [ 32 ].…”
