Humanoid robots show potential for elder care, but research is limited. This review highlights implementation challenges and identifies key areas for future research to improve robot integration in healthcare settings.
Area of Science:
- Robotics in Healthcare
- Geriatric Care Technology
- Human-Robot Interaction
Background:
- Humanoid robots present a potential solution for the increasing care demands of aging populations.
- Current evidence on their use in general aging populations is fragmented and lacks systematic review.
Conclusions:
- Humanoid robots hold promise for older adult healthcare but face methodological constraints and implementation challenges.
- Addressing technical limitations, user acceptance, and systemic adoption issues is crucial for successful integration.
- Further research is needed to overcome these barriers and optimize the use of humanoid robots in geriatric care.
