RobotCare – Network for Robots who Care
RobotCare is a community network of various national and international stakeholders coordinated by the ZHAW in the context of developing service robots for the specific needs of retirement and nursing homes.
Goals / What we offer
Application-centred clarification of the needs in the field of service robotics in retirement and nursing homes and corresponding derivation of the market potential nationally and internationally
Establishing a systematic dialogue between technology developers and researchers as well as stakeholders of the elderly and healthcare facilities, including care and service staff, management and residents and their families
Identification of synergies between national and international universities for future joint initiatives in the field of applied research and development
