Mobile robots for senior citizens : Support in everyday life - help or hindrance?

Mobile robots are increasingly being discussed as a means of supporting older people in their everyday lives - for example for transportation, reminders or simple assistance tasks. But how useful are such systems really?

End 08. October 2026 - 12:30 Uhr

This event focuses on mobile robots. Together with senior citizens, we will discuss what tasks robots can perform, where their limits lie and what requirements they need to meet in order to be accepted in everyday life.

Participants will get to know mobile robots in realistic application scenarios and discuss their benefits, acceptance and possible reservations. The event offers space to reflect on requirements from the perspective of older people and to provide impetus for research and development.

The event invites an open exchange between practice, everyday experience and research.
