“服务机器人”一词描述了能够执行对人类福祉有用的服务的半自主或完全自主的技术系统。服务机器人有潜力为需要护理的人和护理人员提供支持并减轻他们的负担。此外，它们还可用于预防和康复，以减少或避免对帮助的需求。目前可在家庭环境中为人们提供支持的产品主要是清洁机器人或远程控制通信机器人。当前研究活动的例子包括（进一步）开发作为高级通信助手的移动机器人或开发（半）自主操作辅助工具和多功能家庭助手。许多医院普遍使用运输机器人。在护理机构中，已经进行了初步评估。所谓的情感机器人现在作为产品出售，可用于治疗、职业或娱乐活动。
The term "Service robotics" describes semi- or fully autonomous technical systems able to perform services useful to the well-being of humans. Service robots have the potential to support and disburden both persons in need of care as well as nursing care staff. In addition, they can be used in prevention and rehabilitation in order to reduce or avoid the need for help. Products currently available to support people in domestic environments are mainly cleaning or remote-controlled communication robots. Examples of current research activities are the (further) development of mobile robots as advanced communication assistants or the development of (semi) autonomous manipulation aids and multifunctional household assistants. Transport robots are commonly used in many hospitals. In nursing care facilities, the first evaluations have already been made. So-called emotional robots are now sold as products and can be used for therapeutic, occupational, or entertainment activities.
