“…This is performed through different paralinguistic cues such as tones, accents, and vocal fillers. Finally, the complex system represented by HRI can benefit from the integration of all these types of algorithms, in a single more autonomous cyber entity, but it has to be mentioned that facial and movements cues are the most important in evoking users’ trust [ 145 ]. Thus, major efforts have to be made specifically for algorithms involved in these fields.…”

Cyber-physical or virtual systems or devices that are capable of autonomously interacting with human or non-human agents in real environments are referred to as social robots. The primary areas of application for biomedical technology are nursing homes, hospitals, and private homes for the purpose of providing assistance to the elderly, people with disabilities, children, and medical personnel. This review examines the current state-of-the-art of social robots used in healthcare applications, with a particular emphasis on the technical characteristics and requirements of these different types of systems. Humanoids robots, companion robots, and telepresence robots are the three primary categories of devices that are identified and discussed in this article. The research looks at commercial applications, as well as scientific literature (according to the Scopus Elsevier database), patent analysis (using the Espacenet search engine), and more (searched with Google search engine). A variety of devices are enumerated and categorized, and then our discussion and organization of their respective specifications takes place.

“…Especially in collaborative tasks, non-verbal communication can remove the ambiguities of verbal exchange and increase task performance [7]. Furthermore, interactive social cues can help to achieve more social user responses [18], improve user experience [36] and also help shape the perception of robot personality and emotion [43].…”

Socially Assistive Robots navigate highly sensible environments, which place high demands on safety and communication with users. The reasoning behind an SAR's actions must be transparent at any time to earn users' trust and acceptance. Although different communication modalities have been extensively studied, there is a lack of long-term studies investigating changes in users' communication needs over time. Considering two decades of research in Human-Robot Communication, we formulate the need to design dynamic robot personalities to unveil the full potential of SARs. CCS CONCEPTS• Human-centered computing → Human computer interaction (HCI); • Computer systems organization → Robotics.

“…Other dimensions included the robot’s benevolence, the material makeup of the robot, and the companionability of the robot. Other studies that reviewed trust-enhancing factors emphasized factors such as visual appearance, kinetic cues, and predictability of behavior (Xu et al, 2023). Visual qualities which tend towards anthropomorphic or infantilized features, regardless of their interactions and social roles, were observed to enhance users’ trust (Pasupuleti et al, 2023).…”

Assistive robots have the potential to support independence for older adults with mobility limitations and to alleviate the demands of their care partners. Several design considerations are required to ensure that the users can successfully rely on the robot to carry out their tasks. Therefore, building trustworthy robots is necessary for wider acceptance of these assistive robots. Using a participatory design approach, we assessed various aspects involved in advancing the design of a trustworthy robot in home environments. This is a case study focused on supporting an older adult with mobility limitations and his care partner. Through several iterations of co-active development as a team, most of the tasks were accomplished to meet the needs of the older adult couple interacting with the robot. Our approach highlighted usability challenges, the merits of a multidimensional approach in evaluating trust, and co-design strategies to improve the trustworthiness of the robot.
