"Assistive robots and healthcare applications within the context of HRI are discussed in Cesta et al. (page 18), Hindriks et al. (page 20) and Efthimiou et al. (page 21). Cesta et al. present a cognitive architecture combining human perception and AI techniques to infer knowledge about the status of a user and the environment and plan personalised assistive robot actions for elderly people. Hindriks et al. report on their first experiments on a social robot that supports collection of patient data in a hospital, to reduce the workload of nurses. Efthimiou et al. are developing a multimodal user-centred HRI solution that encourages trust and acceptance of assistive robots for elderly people." p.7.
