Attitudes toward social robots among parents of children with neurodevelopmental disorders: A questionnaire survey on a remote island in Japan
As a pilot survey for the implementation of social robots, parents of children with NDDs had lower negative attitudes toward social robots than professionals. Parental acceptance of social robots may differ depending on the children's school grade. These findings may provide preliminary insights that could inform health care providers considering the introduction of advanced technology to address the limited availability and accessibility of medical resources in rural areas, including remote islands.
