  Technological development continues to advance, with consequences for the use
of robots in health care. For this reason, this workshop contribution aims at
consideration of how socially assistive robots can be integrated into care and
what tasks they can take on. This also touches on the degree of autonomy of
these robots and the balance of decision support and decision making in
different situations. We want to show that decision making by robots is
mediated by the balance between autonomy and safety. Our results are based on
Design Fiction and Zine-Making workshops we conducted with scientific experts.
Ultimately, we show that robots' actions take place in social groups. A robot
does not typically decide alone, but its decision-making is embedded in group
processes. The concept of heteromation, which describes the interconnection of
human and machine actions, offers fruitful possibilities for exploring how
robots can be integrated into caring relationships.
