Abstract

This article employs a narrative approach to explain the self-perpetuation of the promise of care robots. For two decades, care robots have been viewed as a promising digital innovation that will relieve care workers from service tasks and thus improve the situation in the care sector. Though they still show a rather poor performance in real-world applications, the expectations are as high as ever. To explain the self-perpetuation of the promise of care robots, we investigate sensemaking practices in the discourse about care robots and show how a predominant overarching narrative as well as project-related sensemaking practices play out.

看护机器人的自我延续

本文采用叙述的方法来解释护理机器人的自我延续的承诺。二十年来，护理机器人一直被视为一种有前途的数字创新，它将使护理人员从服务任务中解脱出来，从而改善护理行业的状况。尽管它们在实际应用程序中仍然显示出相当差的性能，但人们对它们的期望一如既往地高。为了解释护理机器人的自我延续，我们研究了关于护理机器人的话语中的语义实践，并展示了一个主要的总体叙事以及与项目相关的语义实践是如何发挥作用的。

期刊介绍： Work Organisation, Labour and Globalisation aims to: -Provide a single home for articles which specifically address issues relating to the changing international division of labour and the restructuring of work in a global knowledge-based economy. -Bring together the results of empirical research, both qualitative and quantitative, with theoretical analyses in order to inform the development of new interdisciplinary approaches to the study of the restructuring of work, organisational structures and labour in a global context. -Be global in scope, with a particular emphasis on attracting contributions from developing countries as well as from Europe, North America and other developed regions. -Encourage a dialogue between university-based researchers and their counterparts in international and national government agencies, independent research institutes, trade unions and civil society as well as other policy makers. Subject to the requirements of scholarly peer review, it is open to submissions from contributors working outside the academic sphere and encourages an accessible style of writing in order to facilitate this goal. -Complement, rather than compete with, existing discipline-based journals. -Bring to the attention of English-speaking readers relevant articles originally published in other languages.
