“…Drawing and sketch methods can afford older adults an opportunity to influence novel robot form factors from the inception of the design process (Frascara, 2002). Although drawing and sketch components of PD studies place low demands on working memory, some participants may be apprehensive or unable to draw or sketch their preferred robot by themselves (DiSalvo et al, 2008; Ng et al, 2012). In some studies, participants drew or sketched a robot that looked and functioned in a manner that they deemed appropriate (e.g., Rose & Björling, 2017).…”

Objective We reviewed human–robot interaction (HRI) participatory design (PD) research with older adults. The goal was to identify methods used, determine their value for design of robots with older adults, and provide guidance for best practices. Background Assistive robots may promote aging-in-place and quality of life for older adults. However, the robots must be designed to meet older adults’ specific needs and preferences. PD and other user-centered methods may be used to engage older adults in the robot development process to accommodate their needs and preferences and to assure usability of emergent assistive robots. Method This targeted review of HRI PD studies with older adults draws on a detailed review of 26 articles. Our assessment focused on the HRI methods and their utility for use with older adults who have a range of needs and capabilities. Results Our review highlighted the importance of using mixed methods and including multiple stakeholders throughout the design process. These approaches can encourage mutual learning (to improve design by developers and to increase acceptance by users). We identified key phases used in HRI PD workshops (e.g., initial interview phase, series of focus groups phase, and presentation phase). These approaches can provide inspiration for future efforts. Conclusion HRI PD strategies can support designers in developing assistive robots that meet older adults’ needs, capabilities, and preferences to promote acceptance. More HRI research is needed to understand potential implications for aging-in-place. PD methods provide a promising approach.

“…The ability to successfully assimilate new technology depends on users' absorption or purchase of information, as well as their ability to exploit this information (Kouki et al, 2010). In reviewing the literature, Zafrani and Nimrod (2019) pointed out that the majority of HRI studies in later life were snapshot studies that lasted one day, thus, they mainly focused on acceptance rather than on assimilation (Ng et al, 2012;Šabanović et al, 2013).…”

“…Prominent intervening constraints described in the literature were affordability and usability. Concern over robot costs was expressed often (Abbott et al, 2019;Ng et al, 2012;Padir et al, 2015). Community-dwelling adults were doubtful about buying a robot but could imagine renting one for a short period if needed (Fischinger et al, 2016), while senior home residents, who considered robots vis-à-vis human caregivers, thought it would be more reasonable for both financial and functional reasons to hire more staff than to acquire a robot (Compagna & Kohlbacher, 2015).…”

Additional studies are needed to more fully understand what makes HRI successful. The model presented here suggests scholars to conduct theory-driven research, and distinguish among various segments of older users, different types of robots, and group and individual HRI. It also proposes paying greater attention to the users' cultural, physical and social environment, and application of longitudinal and simultaneous examination of uses, outcomes, and constraints.

“…The literature review resulted in the understanding that cleaning help was the most required assistance in the household (Pigini 2012, Beer 2012, Ng 2012 followed by reaching for things and carrying them (Choi 2009, Telson 2013, Beer 2012, Pigini 2012, Fischinger 2016 or holding things in an assistive capacity (Pigini 2012, Beer 2012. Since potential users, through the literature, generally accept that that a robot could be useful in a household, the activities with the planned focus groups would serve to confirm the literature and help inform the necessary acceptance criteria which can be structured according to the TAM.…”

Abstract:We examine the proposition of a stationary assistive robot arm in the kitchen. Based on a preliminary business plan and with the aim of generating engineering requirements, a multi-disciplinary project was established to examine the wider ramifications of such assistive technology in the household, in a Swiss context, in the fields of health and social wellbeing. Additionally the engineering aspects as well as the business aspects were examined. We detail both the individual methodologies used in this study, the results achieved and discuss the results in a wider context.
