Outline of Final Research Achievements

1. Literature database: The search index and the catalogue of categories of the database has been completed. Relevant research literature of major databases has been retrieved according to the categories and according to Japan and Germany.
2. Research and knowledge map: The field of assistive robotics in Japan and Germany has been analyzed and mapped according to the same categories that underlie the database. A relevant field for future research has been identified: human-machine relation.
3. International collaboration: Based on PI's initiative, an international network collaboration with experts on STS and robotics in Germany and Japan has been established. In February 2017, a workshop hosted at University of Oldenburg (Germany) was held. Participants agreed to set up a network and to foster collaboration on "Guidelines for assistive robotics".
