Hyunghun Kim · MechEcology · 2024
Both artificial intelligence and robots are increasingly utilized and demonstrate significant potential, particularly in caregiving. Robots, capable of enhancing or replacing certain human functions, hold considerable promise in caregiving applications. Their integration has the potential to revolutionize patient care, from basic assistance to specialized nursing tasks. For future generations, robots serving in such roles may become as common and essential as smartphones are today. In our aging society, robotic assistance in remote caregiving represents an innovative approach that can deliver critical socioeconomic benefits. This paper examines the primary limitations of current remote caregiving systems and explores how robotics can address these challenges.
