“…Nurses and engineers must continue to effectively collaborate to design and refine robots that meet the needs of healthcare facilities. 4,21,25 Acceptability data should inform further development. Interestingly, an analysis of recent social media posts indicates public acceptance of the use of robots in healthcare, which will potentially impact the openness of nurses and other healthcare workers to this labor-saving innovation.…”

“…Several metrics including completion time and rate and level of user satisfaction were collected, and the results indicate an overall positive response towards the use of a nursing robot. Moreover, ARNA was evaluated on a cohort trial with 24 human subjects and results of this preliminary user study indicate good usefulness and ease of use of the essential user sitter and walker characteristics of the robot [65]. Recently, the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation developed a prototype robot, called DeKonBot, which consists of a mobile base and a robotic arm.…”

In recent years, with the current advancements in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence (AI), robots have the potential to support the field of healthcare. Robotic systems are often introduced in the care of the elderly, children, and persons with disabilities, in hospitals, in rehabilitation and walking assistance, and other healthcare situations. In this survey paper, the recent advances in robotic technology applied in the healthcare domain are discussed. The paper provides detailed information about state-of-the-art research in care, hospital, assistive, rehabilitation, and walking assisting robots. The paper also discusses the open challenges healthcare robots face to be integrated into our society.

“…When robots share environments with human beings, they often play a role of a friend collaborating with them in specific daily tasks. Examples of such collaboration can be a mobile manipulator, which is designed to serve as an assistant to nurses or in rehabilitation tasks in hospital environments [9], or a mobile robot designed to work as a student receptionist at a university [10], among other robots designed to help in daily human activities.…”

Many authors have been working on approaches that can be applied to social robots to allow a more realistic/comfortable relationship between humans and robots in the same space. This paper proposes a new navigation strategy for social environments by recognizing and considering the social conventions of people and groups. To achieve that, we proposed the application of Delaunay triangulation for connecting people as vertices of a triangle network. Then, we defined a complete asymmetric Gaussian function (for individuals and groups) to decide zones where the robot must avoid passing. Furthermore, a feature generalization scheme called socialization feature was proposed to incorporate perception information that can be used to change the variance of the Gaussian function. Simulation results have been presented to demonstrate that the proposed approach can modify the path according to the perception of the robot compared to a standard A* algorithm.
