The aging population is growing at an unprecedented rate globally and robotics-enabled solutions are being developed to provide better independent living for older adults. In this study, we report the results from a systematic review of the state-of-the-art in home robotics research for caring for older adults.

A recurring concern for robotics application is how to scale from being a research product, into a production system. Developers need to compile their software for the chosen embedded platform, write tests for their code, and build infrastructure to support engineering best practices, such as Continuous Integration, and Delivery (CI/CD). This chapter introduces the reader to ROS packages, and tools which can be leveraged to build solid, commercial-grade, systems based on ROS 2.
