Assistive Robotics in Robotics for healthcare, roadmap study for the EC
conference paper
To gain understanding in the current status of Robotics in healthcare the European Commission issued a roadmap study into this domain. This paper reports on the main characteristics and results of this study. The study covered the wide domain of Healthcare and in this paper the domains relevant for Assistive Technology are highlighted. The study ultimately resulted in a range of required or foreseen developments foreseen in six areas of Healthcare Robotics regarding societal needs, innovations and technology. These developments were positioned along a timescale running till 2025. This study will guide the policy development regarding Robotics for Healthcare of the 7th and 8th framework of the EC. © 2009 The authors and IOS Press. All rights reserved.
