Abstract
BACKGROUND: In the future, modern technologies could make a significant contribution to a self-determined life in one's own environment when in need of care. Robots might alleviate everyday domestic life and promote participation. In the nursing science debate concerns have been raised over alienation through technology and loss of direct social and emotional contact. Robots are also being tested in nursing care, for example as social robots in the nursing home setting. The current state of knowledge regarding the domestic application of robotic systems has so far not been examined in systematic reviews.
