What can assistive robotics do today to improve care for people?

Assistive robotics opens up new opportunities to enhance people’s autonomy, well-being and care, while also providing support tools for professionals working in the social, healthcare and care sectors.

Over these two days, innovative solutions, use cases and real-world experiences in the application of assistive robotics will be presented, with opportunities for demonstrations, discussion and networking among companies, organisations and professionals in the sector.
