So, the future society will be confronted with socio-political and\u0000 economic challenges. It is expected that human-robot collaboration will\u0000 increase in healthcare. This should support and relieve care staff. An\u0000 online study was conducted to examine differences in the acceptance of\u0000 different care robots and the general attitude towards robots in the\u0000 healthcare sector. To additionally analyze the impact of the COVID-19\u0000 pandemic, two different measurement times were used, one at the beginning of\u0000 the pandemic resp. after the first corona wave and the first lockdowns, and\u0000 one five months later. The results of the study should help to understand\u0000 the acceptance of the potential use of different robots in healthcare and\u0000 the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.","PeriodicalId":231376,"journal":{"name":"Human Systems Engineering and Design (IHSED 2023): Future Trends\n and Applications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131310374","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
