Abstract
The need of nursing staff will continue to increase in the next years.
At the same time, the healthcare system will face an increase of elderly
people. So, the future society will be confronted with socio-political and
economic challenges. It is expected that human-robot collaboration will
increase in healthcare. This should support and relieve care staff. An
online study was conducted to examine differences in the acceptance of
different care robots and the general attitude towards robots in the
healthcare sector. To additionally analyze the impact of the COVID-19
pandemic, two different measurement times were used, one at the beginning of
the pandemic resp. after the first corona wave and the first lockdowns, and
one five months later. The results of the study should help to understand
the acceptance of the potential use of different robots in healthcare and
the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
