“…Furthermore, PWD may not have the cognitive ability to identify or express their needs [31] or they might believe that social robots are not useful if their needs are currently being fulfilled by caregivers [32]. Indeed, several studies suggest that PWD and their carers can disagree as to the nature of their unmet needs and potential solutions provided by robots [12,30,33]. This fact impacts robot acceptability by individuals and is discussed further below with reference to social influences.…”

Social robots are being developed to support care given to older adults (OA), people with dementia (PWD) and OA with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) by facilitating their independence and wellbeing. The successful deployment of robots should be guided by knowledge of factors which affect acceptability. This paper critically reviews empirical studies which have explored how acceptability issues impact OA, PWD and OA with MCI. The aim is to identify the factors governing acceptability, to ascertain what is likely to improve acceptability and make recommendations for future research. A search of the literature published between 2005 and 2015 revealed a relatively small body of relevant work has been conducted focusing on the acceptability of robots by PWD or OA with MCI (n=21), and on acceptability for OA (n=23). The findings are presented using constructs from the Almere robot acceptance model. They reveal acceptance of robots is affected by multiple interacting factors, pertaining to the individual, significant others and the wider society. Acceptability can be improved through robots using humanlike communication, being personalised in response to individual users' needs and including issues of trust and control of the robot which relates to degrees of robot adaptivity. However, most studies are of short duration, have small sample sizes and some do not involve actual robot usage or are conducted in laboratories rather than in real world contexts. Larger randomised controlled studies, conducted in the context where robots will be deployed, are needed to investigate how acceptance factors are affected when humans use robots for longer periods of time and become habituated to them.

“…In the future, we will continue to conduct research and development activities in both of these research fieldslocation-aware industry and service robots and transporters. The service robot has already been tested with elderly people [12,13]. Service robots will also be further developed by utilizing sensor network, RFID, and positioning technologies with 3D user interfaces.…”

Inter-cognitive communication plays the key role in the development of engineering applications where natural and artificial cognitive systems should work together efficiently. Situation-awareness is essential in that cooperation. The focus of this study is to report our experiences and applications of situation-aware robots and transporters. Industrial robots are an important part of production in several fields of current industry. Mobile robots and wheeled transporters such as forklift trucks will in the future be key elements in material handling and transporting tasks in production and in warehouses. In addition, robots will also play key roles in wellness services in response to the aging population. Situation-awareness and especially location-awareness is essential in the development of efficient human-robot interaction. In the future, cognitive communication processes between operators and intelligent transporters may benefit from many features developed for intelligent traffic systems. We also present our experiences from the development a of situation-aware traffic system. I.
