2. Care with robots

2.1 Robotics and mental health

Today, robots can be used and marketed in a wide variety of fields: from play robots and play partners to receptionists and robots used in the healthcare sector. The latter can be set up for different purposes, whether to replace the care professional (as in the field of surgery, where the robot can limit human error, as it will never feel fatigue or stress), or to accompany him or her, which is mostly found in the use of the robot as a mediation tool, and more particularly in the clinic for people with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) or elderly people with Alzheimer's disease
