Outline

This paper presents the results of two experiments conducted in a Parisian day care facility for the elderly to assess the practical applicability of social robots. Using a full-size humanoid robot, we evaluated the acceptability (AES) and usability (SUS) of the robot with over 60 patients and their caregivers. Using the software architecture and experimental protocol developed in the H2020 SPRING project, we assessed the robot's adaptability to various interactions and its robustness to environmental factors. The results indicate that users are particularly receptive to the technology when the robot's cognitive and behavioral capabilities are robust to environmental factors and flexible in diverse interactions.

Takeaways, Limitations

Takeaways: Demonstrates that humanoid robots with social interaction capabilities have high feasibility and acceptance in elderly care facilities. The results suggest that the robot's environmental adaptability and interaction flexibility significantly influence user acceptance.
Limitations: The limited sample size in a specific senior day care facility hinders generalization. Further research is needed across different types of senior facilities and user populations. There is a lack of evaluation of long-term use. There is a lack of detailed analysis of the robot's social interaction capabilities.
