Following the kick-off meeting, the first developer meeting took place on 1 March 2023 at the WG Healthcare Research of the University Hospital Halle. Available robotic platforms and their own/developed applications/use cases/scenarios were presented to all to strengthen the co-creative goal of the project at an early stage. Previous participatory studies based on end-users and corresponding evaluations/results were also discussed. Many possible use cases/scenarios and applications related to EduXBot were discussed and documented.
