Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. actual state in the clinical setting: wards / functional departments where service robotics could be well integrated according to the literature.

| Overall aim of the study: Evaluation of needs for a digital-robotic system as well as consensus on possible application scenarios. 1. actual state in the clinical setting: Neutral survey of walking distances traveled and tasks distant from care through a standardized observation tool. Survey of utilization through a questionnaire adapted from the NASA Raw TLX. 2. expert* survey: Survey of possible use scenarios for the combined system using semi-structured interview guides / socio-demographic questionnaire. 3. Delphi survey: Dimension reduction of the deployment scenarios by means of a semi-standardized online questionnaire. | — |
