State of social care robots today


In December, 2018, the independent Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology (POST) published a brief review entitled Robotics in Social Care (POST note POST-PN-0591).

Eighteen months on, what is the state of social care robots today?

You are asked to write a short article about the current state of robotics used in a personal social care context. Your article should describe three examples of how autonomous robotic technologies might be used to support personal social care, which should include domestic or care home settings. (You may include robots that are commercially available or that exist as prototypes).
