AbstractDementia is one of the seven leading causes of death and a primary factor for requiring long-term care. The number of dementia patients worldwide exceeds 55 million, with approximately 10 million new cases occurring annually. In this context, the utilization of robots is advancing to address the increasing number of dementia patients. This study focuses on the application of robotic technology in dementia care and aims to identify the most influential authors, educational and research institutions, countries, regions, and references internationally through a quantitative literature review. A quantitative literature review reveals the current state and trends of a particular field, providing significant insight for future research directions. Bibliometrics, a method for quantitatively analyzing literature, is essential for objectively understanding research trends.Keywords: dementia, robotic, bibliometrics, visualization, network analysis
