Interaktive Robotik in Medizin und Pflege

Healthcare systems rely heavily on effective collaboration between diverse human professionals. As artificial agents increasingly enter these environments, understanding how they can cooperate seamlessly with humans becomes a critical research challenge. Existing simulation tools often focus on technical optimization or exclude human involvement, making it difficult to study realistic collaboration dynamics in complex, safety-critical domains.

Overcare is an open-source serious game and simulation platform designed to explore human–AI cooperation in healthcare settings. Inspired by Overcooked, it provides a structured yet playful environment where humans and artificial agents collaborate to complete medical tasks. Overcare allows researchers to investigate teamwork strategies, adaptive agent behaviors, and interaction dynamics in a risk-free, configurable setting. Through this, a foundation for future work environments can be built.
