  • Robotik im Gesundheits- und Pflegesektor
    In diesem Projekt untersuchen wir, inwieweit soziale robotische Systeme im Gesundheits- und Pflegesektor einsetzbar sind (proof of concept) und welche Voraussetzungen erfüllt werden müssen, um robotische Lösungen im Sinne sozialer Innovation zu implementieren.
