Dementia and other related diseases causing symptoms of mild cognitive impairment are being increasingly diagnosed. These diseases are placing a significant strain on the healthcare system. Robotic technology research has also been increasing, specifically in the field of healthcare and assisted living. This scoping review explores the research at the intersection of dementia and robotic devices. More specifically, this paper looks at how robots can be used in dementia care to gain a deeper understanding of the potential benefits this technology may have on patient and caregiver lives. This research was conducted using PRISMA guidelines. Data were extracted from 13 articles. The researchers found that there is a lack of evidence regarding how robotics can assist patients living with dementia; however, robotic devices can be used by patients to perform some daily tasks in the home.
