Overcoming technical adoption barriers for mobile service robots in rehabilitation
Many publications on robotic systems in healthcare describe early-stage work on low technology readiness levels. This paper describes how a mobile service robot approved as a medical device reaches higher technology readiness levels by adding peripheral functions and smaller improvements, which are pivotal for user acceptance in clinical environments and which often cannot be elicited by questioning users ex-ante as certain aspects only come in mind from testing the systems in clinical settings or operational environments. Especially developers of service robots in healthcare are advised to plan with such downstream developments, which can take significant implementation time, to obtain user acceptance and achieve widespread adoption of their robotic systems.
