AbstractIn recent years, the design, use and study of robots have increased in the social settings of therapy and care for older adults. In parallel with these developments, voices have been raised advocating for more human-centered and holistic approaches to research on robot technology (1; 2). In particular, the need to critically address underlying technology-driven values (3; 4), and to question the role of machines in the process of communication (5) have been emphasized. More interdisciplinary work is also required to assess the design and use of robots in an increasing range of such settings. The aim of the talk is to critically investigate the use of robots in care, and make visible the challenges and dilemmas of robot use in the surroundings of healthcare and older adults.Keywords: robotics, care, nursing, healthcare robotics, human-robot interaction
