Assistive robotics as a gerontological geriatric field of research so far seem to be perceived more as "recalcitrant". Predominant is a reserved attitude as to whether this should be considered a research topic to be taken seriously. The reliability of research results and the scientific half-life period are questioned as digital technique generations change exceedingly rapidly and also only a few sustainable standards and guidelines are established. In this context there is a danger that essential developments will be missed in gerontology and geriatrics, then the momentum is active right now and can now be shaped. In the scientific gerontology and geriatrics these developments should not be missed out on but must be grasped with pioneering spirit and proactively co-created. This can be achieved by further research endeavors, public activities and the utilization of knowledge from clinical and nursing practice with each having feedback into development and research.
到目前为止，辅助机器人技术作为老年医学领域的一个研究方向，似乎更多地被视为“顽固不化”。对于它是否应被视为一个值得认真对待的研究课题，人们普遍持保留态度。由于数字技术的更新换代极其迅速，且仅建立了少数可持续的标准和指南，研究结果的可靠性和科学半衰期受到质疑。在这种情况下，存在一种风险，即老年学和老年医学可能会错过一些重要的发展，而目前这些发展势头正强劲，现在就可以对其进行塑造。在科学的老年学和老年医学领域，不应错过这些发展，而必须以开拓精神积极把握并共同创造。这可以通过进一步的研究努力、公共活动以及利用临床和护理实践中的知识来实现，每一项都能为发展和研究提供反馈。
