Background:Social robots are currently a form of assistive technology for the elderly, healthy, or with cognitive impairment, helping to maintain their independence and improve their well-being.
Objective:The main aim of this article is to present a review of the existing research in the literature, referring to the use of social robots for people with dementia and/or aging.
Methods:Academic databases that were used to perform the searches are IEEE Xplore, PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar, taking into account as date of publication the last 10 years, from 2007 to the present. Several search criteria were established such as "robot" AND "dementia," "robot" AND "cognitive impairment," "robot" AND "social" AND "aging," and so on., selecting the articles of greatest interest regarding the use of social robots in elderly people with or without dementia.
Results:This search found a total of 96 articles on social robots in healthy people and with dementia, of which 38 have been identified as relevant work. Many of the articles show the acceptance of older people toward social robots.
Conclusion:From the review of the research articles analyzed, it can be said that use of social robots in elderly people without cognitive impairment and with dementia, help in a positive way to work independently in basic activities and mobility, provide security, and reduce stress.
社交机器人目前是一种适用于老年人、健康人群或认知障碍者的辅助技术，有助于维持他们的独立性并改善他们的幸福感。
本文的主要目的是对文献中关于社交机器人在痴呆症患者和/或老年人中的应用的现有研究进行综述。
用于进行检索的学术数据库有IEEE Xplore、PubMed、ScienceDirect和谷歌学术，考虑的出版日期为过去10年，即从2007年至今。制定了几个检索标准，如“机器人”与“痴呆症”、“机器人”与“认知障碍”、“机器人”与“社交”与“衰老”等，选择了关于社交机器人在患有或未患有痴呆症的老年人中的应用的最感兴趣的文章。
本次检索共找到96篇关于健康人群和痴呆症患者使用社交机器人的文章，其中38篇被确定为相关研究。许多文章显示了老年人对社交机器人的接受度。
从对所分析的研究文章的综述来看，可以说社交机器人在没有认知障碍的老年人和患有痴呆症的老年人中的应用，以积极的方式有助于他们在基本活动和行动中独立工作、提供安全保障并减轻压力。
