Perspectives on the Use of Educational Robotics in Health: A Systematic Review

摘要

This paper presents a systematic review of the literature (SRL) on works related to educational robotics in health. This review emerges from the interest to identify the advances of scientific productions in this field. The lack of specific literature in this area was a motivation, and the research is carried out based on papers dated from 2000 to 2017. With this systematic review we answer some important questions for the elucidation of the contemporary framework of educational robotics applied to health. Results show an increasing interest of the scientific community in this area, especially for the treatment and improvement of the quality of life of people with autism. In relation to the geographical distribution of the works, authors in Europe and in the United States are responsible for most part of the found researches.
