Abstract This paper examines the potential impact of social robots on people with mild cognitive impairments in a nursing home. Within 4-month design case study, we investigated practices, attitudes, and contexts residents impairment their caregivers designed two prototype apps for robotic-based system. Subsequently, 10 residents, former home manager, one caregiver participated evaluation study weeks. The goal was to assess group-based user experience interactions. Qualitative results...
Healthy ageing is a challenge in societies that can be coped with the help of socially assistive robots. This study introduces CelesTE, theomorphic device designed to support well-being older adults. Building upon foundations laid by SanTO, Catholic robot, CelesTE takes form an angel prayer and aims engage users, particularly those Christian faith. The paper delves into CelesTE's conceptual evolution, addressing challenges related religious perceptions, fallibility, user interaction....
This study observes, interprets, and analyses the knowledge production in research field of Human–Robot Interaction (HRI). It intends to foreground hidden assumptions that are often taken for granted when roboticist design conduct their research. By doing so, this demonstrates how these influence result Based on data collected through sociological observation, argues current practise HRI is highly anthropocentric. In short, robots designed be like human instead human. Therefore,...
Often robots are seen as a means to an end fulfill logical objective task. Android robots, on the other hand, provide new possibilities emotional tasks and could therefore be integrated into assistive scenarios. We explored this possibility by letting older adults stakeholders have conversation with android robot capable of expressing emotion through facial expressions. The study was carried out wizard-of-oz approach data collected mixed methods approach. found that participants were...
