Systematic Review of Social Robots for Health and Wellbeing: A Personal Healthcare Journey Lens
Social robots have great potential in supporting individuals’ physical and mental health/wellbeing. While they have been increasingly evaluated in some domains, such as with children with autism, their evaluation has not been as extensive in other areas. We present a systematic review of domains in which social robots have been evaluated specifically in health/wellbeing contexts. We ask which robots have been evaluated, who the participants were,…
