This paper addresses the critical gap between early-stage robotic prototypes and clinically viable medical devices, emphasizing that user acceptance in rehabilitation settings often requires iterative peripheral enhancements rather than just initial design. It argues that developers must anticipate downstream implementation challenges to elevate technology readiness levels and achieve widespread adoption of mobile service robots.
Overcoming technical adoption barriers for mobile service robots in rehabilitation
arXiv:2609.16996v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Many publications on robotic systems in healthcare describe early-stage work on low technology readiness levels. This paper describes how a mobile service robot approved as a medical device reaches higher technology readiness levels by adding peripheral functions and smaller improvements, which are pivotal for user acceptance in clinical environments and which often cannot be elicited by questioning users ex-ante as certain aspects only come in mind from testing the systems in clinical settings or operational environments. Especially developers of service robots in healthcare are advised to plan with such downstream developments, which can take significant implementation time, to obtain user acceptance and achieve widespread adoption of their robotic systems.
