Abstract

Dans le cadre de cette étude, nous avons choisi de nous concentrer sur la robotique sociale d’assistance qui constitue l’une des technologies clés des géront’innovations. Avoir un robot comme compagnon ou aide-soignant à domicile n’est plus du domaine de la science-fiction, mais est devenue une réalité. Ceci grâce à l’inventivité et à la créativité de nombreux entrepreneurs passionnés en France et dans d’autres pays. Mais, quelles sont les motivations de ces entrepreneurs ? Cherchent-ils simplement à saisir une opportunité d’affaire ? Quelles sont leurs ressources ? Sont-ils préoccupés par la question du vieillissement de la population et par celle de sa prise en charge ? L’ensemble de ces initiatives va-t-il contribuer à créer une nouvelle trajectoire technologique, induisant à la fois de nouvelles pratiques industrielles (conception et production de robots) et sociales (demande de la part des personnes âgées pour ce type de produit) ?
