How Do Older Adults Perceive Technology and Robots? A Participatory Study in a Care Center in Poland
One of the key areas of application for social robots is healthcare, particularly for the elderly. To better address user needs, a study involving the humanoid robot NAO was conducted at the Municipal Care Center in Krakow, Poland, with the participation of 29 older adults. This participatory design study explored their attitudes toward robots and technology both before and after interacting with the robot. It also identified the most desirable applications of social robots that could simplify everyday life for the elderly.
