Globally, the population of elderly people is rising with an increasing number of people living with dementias. This trend is coupled with a prevailing need for compassionate caretakers. A key challenge in dementia care is to assist the person to sustain communication and connection to family, caregivers and the environment. The use of social commitment robots in the care of people with dementia has intriguing possibilities to address some of these care needs. This paper discusses the literature on the use of social commitment robots in the care of elderly people with dementia; the contributions to care that social commitment robots potentially can make and the cautions around their use. Future directions for programs of research are identified to further the development of the evidence-based knowledge in this area.
全球范围内，老年人口数量不断增加，同时痴呆患者数量也在增加。这种趋势伴随着对富有同情心的护理人员的需求不断增加。痴呆症护理的一个主要挑战是帮助患者维持与家人、护理人员和环境的沟通和联系。使用社交承诺机器人来照顾痴呆症患者具有令人感兴趣的可能性，可以满足其中一些护理需求。本文讨论了使用社交承诺机器人来照顾痴呆症老年人的文献；社交承诺机器人可能对护理做出的贡献，以及使用它们时需要注意的问题。确定了未来研究计划的方向，以进一步发展该领域的循证知识。
