Abstract

Robots for older adults have a lot of potential. In order to create an overview of the developments in this area a systematic review of robots for older adults living independently was conducted. Robots were categorized based on their market readiness, the type of provided support (i.e., physical, non-physical, non-specified), and the activity domain they claim to support. Additionally, the commercially available robots are places in a proposed framework to help to distinguish the different types of robots and their focus. During the presentation an updated version of the state of the art will be presented.
