Abstract: Highlights•We analyze the limitations of IoT and SARs within a home-based AAL setting.•The interplay between the IoT, the robot, and the user can overcome such limitations.•Each component both assists and is assisted by the other ones.•This creates a mutual-aid actor-network; we present it in a case-study.•We demonstrate in an extensive on-the-field trial with end-users our results.
