This workshop serves as a nexus for exploring the dynamic intersection of AI and robotics in Geriatronics, aiming to shed light on pressing challenges. It delves into the transformative potential of the next generation of robotics and AI technology, particularly in addressing the scarcity and geographical imbalances of care providers and the strain on healthcare systems. Furthermore, our workshop seeks to advance the development of an accessible, intelligent generation of assistive robotics technologies that empower independence for individuals with disabilities. Integral to the discussion is the systematic examination of factors influencing the acceptance of robotic-technology-based assistive systems, focusing on improving adaptation, interaction, and overall acceptance among caregivers. The workshop aspires to catalyse collaboration and inspire transformative advancements at the nexus of ageing populations, technology, and care in Geriatronics.
