Abstract:
The aging of the population is a reality common to the entire Western world, while the time available and human resources are limited. According to many experts, the new robotic technologies could help meet the care needs of the elderly, at home and in hospitals and nursing homes. In particular, care robotics could foster their autonomy and provide support to operators in the sector. The robots also invite us to reflect on how we want to be, what kind of people we want to become, since we are launching ourselves into ever more intimate relationships with machines and less and less towards rights and respect for real people.
