arXiv:2606. 10208v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Demand for older-adult and patient care is growing rapidly as populations age worldwide.
arXiv:2608. 02411v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Care robots are increasingly being introduced into healthcare settings, raising important questions about their acceptance and ethical implementation.
Care robots are increasingly being introduced into healthcare settings, raising important questions about their acceptance and ethical implementation. To better understand these challenges, this study investigates caregivers' perceptions of four categories of care robots: delivering supplies, helping patients into bed, monitoring vital signs, and assisting with mobility.
arXiv:2604. 01463v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Physically Assistive Robots require personalized behaviors to ensure user safety and comfort.
arXiv:2608. 10915v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: After an older adult misses a medication dose, a software agent can send another reminder and an embodied agent can bring the medication.
Long-term physical coexistence with intelligent robots requires more than capable robot policies. A persistent robotic assistant must support diverse user-facing interfaces, maintain long-horizon memory of people and preferences, coordinate across robot embodiments, and translate human intent into safe physical execution.
arXiv:2608. 05107v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI-supported care planning can help clinicians, patients, caregivers, and care teams coordinate complex decisions across clinical, functional, psychosocial, and environmental needs.

arXiv:2607. 19075v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The rapid growth of the global aging population presents severe challenges to healthcare systems, necessitating efficient, equitable, and patient-centered care models.
arXiv:2607. 06344v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While personalisation is becoming a defining capability in human-robot interaction (HRI), the existing literature on responsible personalisation remains fragmented, offering isolated accounts of ethical risks without a structured understanding of how they emerge across interaction contexts.
While personalisation is becoming a defining capability in human-robot interaction (HRI), the existing literature on responsible personalisation remains fragmented, offering isolated accounts of ethical risks without a structured understanding of how they emerge across interaction contexts. This gap is particularly critical in HRI, where robots' embodiment and social presence can amplify and reshape such risks or generate new types of risks.
