“…Up to now, the different types of care robots used in elder care mainly have provided support regarding assistance in daily tasks, monitoring behaviours and health and providing companionship [22,23]. Some examples are Care-O-bot [24], Robot-Era robots [25], Zora [26], JustoCat [27] and PARO [28], amongst others. However, it has been predicted that the health care robotics industry will integrate robotics into health care at an alarming rate and will reach a value of 50 billion US dollars by 2025 [29].…”

“…Altogether, 71 informants participated in a total of 13 focus groups, with 4-7 informants in each group, consisting Reflection on what was said during the discussion: Does anything need to be added? The assistant moderator is invited to reflect/ask additional questions of older adults living in their own housing (24), relatives of care-dependent older adults (16), professional caregivers in assisted living facilities or home care (16) and care service managers in assisted living facilities (15) ( Table 2). Prior to the focus group discussions, the informants completed a questionnaire with their background data and signed an informed consent form.…”

“…As the informants had limited experience of care robots, they were shown a 3-min long video clip of three examples. The first was Care-O-bot [24], a mobile robot assistant for supporting humans in their daily life. The second was JustoCat [27], a social robot used for improving life for people with dementia, and specifically adapted for health care environments.…”

Exploring the specific field of care robot orientation generates many questions regarding the meaning, content and how it should be conducted. The issue is important due to the general digitalisation and implementation of welfare technology and care robots. The aim of the study was to explore perceptions of care robot orientation from the potential users' perspective. Data were collected by focus group interviews in Finland, Germany and Sweden. In all three countries, potential user groups were represented: older adults, relatives, professional caregivers and care service managers. A qualitative descriptive method was used for analysing data. The data revealed three aspects of care robot orientation: (1) What care robot orientation is, (2) Who needs it and by Whom it should be given and (3) How it should be performed. The need for care robot orientation is general in society. In the absence of knowledge about care robots, it is nearly impossible to know what to ask for or actually seek information about. Therefore, care robot orientation must be founded on agile implementation planning for care robots, with a firm basis in trustworthy knowledge and information and respecting individuals' wishes. This also gives rise to an ethical challenge when care robots are offered to people having reduced decision-making ability (dementia, cognitive impairment), along with the issue of who then should make the decision. The mapping of the What, Who/Whom and How aspects of care robot orientation offers a foundation for the creation of orientation models, which might facilitate structured and goal-oriented care robot orientation strategies.

Using robotic home assistants as a platform for remote health monitoring offers several advantages, but also presents considerable challenges related to both the technical immaturity of home robotics and to user acceptance issues. In this paper we explore tablets and similar mobile devices as the medium of communication between robots and their users, presenting relevant current and planned research in humanrobot interaction that can help the telehealth community circumvent technical shortcomings, improve user acceptance, and maximize the quality of the data collected by robotic home assistants.

Abstract:In refinery, petrochemical, and chemical plants, process technicians collect uncontaminated samples to be analyzed in the quality control laboratory all time and all weather. This traditionally manual operation not only exposes the process technicians to hazardous chemicals, but also imposes an economical burden on the management. The recent development in mobile manipulation provides an opportunity to fully automate the operation of sample collection. This paper reviewed the various challenges in sample collection in terms of navigation of the mobile platform and manipulation of the robotic arm from four aspects, namely mobile robot positioning/attitude using global navigation satellite system (GNSS), vision-based navigation and visual servoing, robotic manipulation, mobile robot path planning and control. This paper further proposed solutions to these challenges and pointed the main direction of development in mobile manipulation.
