[Linda Wang]

Dear colleague,

We are pleased to invite you to contribute a paper to our Special Issue
"*Robots for Health and Elderly Care*" in /Robotics/(ISSN 2218-6581).

*Guest Editors*: Prof. Dr. Angel P. Del Pobil and Dr. Ester Martinez-Martin
Special Issue Website:

*Deadline*: *31 March 2021*

Recently, the population ageing phenomenon has led to an unceasing need
for healthcare systems to assist the elderly's cognitive and physical
health. In this context, robotics can play an important role with
respect to healthcare support and independent life, especially when
problems related to ageing appear.

So, novel theoretical approaches or practical applications of all
aspects involving elderly robotic assistance are welcomed. Reviews,
datasets, benchmarks, and surveys of the state-of-the-art are also
welcomed. Topics of interest to this Special Issue include, but are not
limited to, the following topics:

     Therapy robots
     Rehabilitation robots
     Telehealth
     Healthcare robots
     Companion robots
     Activity planning robots

If you decide to contribute to this Special Issue, please inform us. The
Editorial Board of Robotics strives to ensure a rigorous and efficient
peer-review process for all manuscripts, in order to ensure high-quality
manuscripts are published in a timely manner (if accepted after the
peer-review process).

Robotics provides an advanced forum for studies related to all aspects
of robotics. It is covered by leading indexing services, including the
Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI—Web of Science), Scopus(citescore
2.50), nspec (IET) and DBLP Computer Science Bibliography, and other
databases.

/Robotics/ is fully open access. Open access (unlimited and free access
by readers) increases publicity and promotes more frequent citations, as
indicated by several studies. Open access is supported by the authors
and their institutes. An Article Processing Charge (APC) of CHF 1000
currently applies to all accepted papers.
