Robotics and Independent Living: Insights from Older Adults with Cognitive Impairment and Their Caregivers

Our findings shed light on the dynamics of human-robot interactions among older adults with cognitive impairments, emphasizing their potential to support independent living. These insights provide valuable guidance for developers, enabling them to design robots that better align with the needs, preferences, and abilities of this population. By enhancing user experiences and addressing the specific challenges of cognitive decline, these results can inform the development of adaptable and user-friendly robots, ultimately improving their adoption and effectiveness in promoting aging-in-place.
