T
he use of robotics in health care has seen a recent
rise in interest due to its potential for use during
the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. The transmission
rate of COVID-19 has meant that health-care
workers are under increasing pressure, risks,

the heightened medical needs of patients. Patients are
suffering from isolation, and not just in hospitals: higher-risk
individuals must shelter, meaning social interactions,

devices to be used for rehabilitation at home (for both
pre-existing conditions and for COVID-19-related
