| Abstract This mixed-methods study seeks to address the complex challenge of integrating robotics within adult social care by developing evidence-based design and implementation guidelines. Using a participatory design approach, the research combines public sentiment analysis, healthcare worker survey, carer interviews, cognitive work analysis and expert review. The findings here highlight the importance of human-in-the-loop automation, unambiguous appliance-like design and integration with existing care systems and infrastructure. The resultant guidance offers actionable insights for designers, manufacturers, and policymakers to ensure safe, ethical, culturally sensitive and effective deployment of care robotics. |
