[Robotic systems for care at home: A scoping review].

DISCUSSION: Robotic systems in home care have mainly been investigated in exploratory or pilot studies. Apart from technical aspects, the studies focussed on ease of use and, to this purpose, predominantly employed prototype robots. No reference was made to users' living environment, and there was no proof of effectiveness. The devices are far from being in the stage of broad practical application.
