Accompany : Acceptable robotiCs COMPanions for AgeiNG Years - Multidimensional aspects of human-system interactions
Amirabdollahian, F.; Koay, K.L.; Saunders, J.; Dautenhahn, K.; Op Den Akker, R.; Evers, V.; Bedaf, S.; Gelderblom, Gert Jan; Bormann, R.; Reiser, U.; Draper, H.; Iacono, I.; Marti, P.; Hu, N.; Krose, B.; Ruiz, C.G.; Hewson, D.; Michel, H.; Prevot-Huille, H.; Sorell, T. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2013-06)With changes in life expectancy across the world, technologies enhancing well-being of individuals, specifically for older people, are subject to a new stream of research and development. In this paper we present the ... -
Assistive technology design and development for acceptable robotics companions for ageing years
Amirabdollahian, Farshid; Op Den Akker, R.; Bedaf, S.; Bormann, R.; Draper, H.; Evers, V.; Gallego Perez, J.; Gelderblom, Gert Jan; Ruiz, C.G.; Hewson, D.; Hu, N.; Koay, Kheng; Lehmann, Hagen; Marti, P.; Michel, H.; Prevot-Huille, H.; Reiser, U.; Saunders, Joe; Sorell, T.; Stienstra, Jelle; Syrdal, D.S.; Walters, Michael; Dautenhahn, K. (2013-12)A new stream of research and development responds to changes in life expectancy across the world. It includes technologies which enhance well-being of individuals, specifically for older people. The ACCOMPANY project focuses ... -
Episodic memory visualization in robot companions providing a memory prosthesis for elderly users
Ho, W.C.; Dautenhahn, K.; Burke, N.; Saunders, J.; Saez-Pons, J. (IOS Press, 2013)The goal of home care robots is to help elderly people to age in their own homes. Ageing people who are otherwise quite healthy may suffer from memory loss and consequently decrease their independence because the memory ... -
Robot-mediated interviews : Does a robotic interviewer impact question difficulty and information recovery?
Wood, L. J.; Dautenhahn, K.; Lehmann, H.; Robins, B.; Rainer, A.; Syrdal, D.S. (IOS Press, 2013)Our previous research has shown that children respond to a robotic interviewer very similar compared to a human interviewer, pointing towards the prospect of using robot-mediated interviews in situations where human ... -
Scenarios of robot-assisted play for children with cognitive and physical disabilities.
Robins, Ben; Dautenhahn, K.; Ferrari, Ester; Kronreif, Gernot; Prazak-Aram, Barbara; Marti, Patrizia; Iacono, Iolanda; Gelderblom, Gert Jan; Bernd, Tanja; Caprino, Francesca; Laudanna, Elena (2012)This article presents a novel set of ten play scenarios for robot-assisted play for children with special needs. This set of scenarios is one of the key outcomes of the IROMEC project that investigated how robotic toys can ... -
Selecting services for a service robot : Evaluating the problematic activities threatening the independence of elderly persons
Bedaf, Sandra; Gelderblom, Gert Jan; de Witte, Luc; Syrdal, D.S.; Lehmann, Hagen; Amirabdollahian, Farshid; Dautenhahn, K.; Hewson, David (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2013)Sustaining independent living for the elderly is desirable both for the individual as well as for societies as a whole. Substantial care interventions are provided to citizens supporting their independent living. Currently, ... -
A user friendly robot architecture for re-ablement and co-learning in a sensorised home
Saunders, J.; Burke, N.; Koay, K.L.; Dautenhahn, K. (IOS Press, 2013)To meet the needs of an ever ageing population it has been proposed that assitive technology might provide aid and support for elderly people and allow them to reside for longer in their own homes. Such proposals face many ... -
What asking potential users about ethical values adds to our understanding of an ethical framework for social robots for older people.
Draper, Heather; Sorell, Tom; Bedaf, Sandra; Lehmann, Hagen; Ruiz, C.G.; Hervé, Michael; Gelderblom, Gert Jan; Dautenhahn, K.; Amirabdollahian, Farshid (2014)Abstract. This paper reports and discusses empirical research on the ethical principles that should inform interactions between social robots and their users who are older people. Data were collected from focus groups ... -
Which activities threaten independent living of elderly when becoming problematic : inspiration for meaningful service robot functionality
Bedaf, Sandra; Gelderblom, Gert Jan; Syrdal, D.S.; Lehmann, Hagen; Michel, Hervé; Hewson, David; Amirabdollahian, Farshid; Dautenhahn, K.; de Witte, Luc (2014-11)Purpose: In light of the increasing elderly population and the growing demand for home care, the potential of robot support is given increasing attention. In this paper, an inventory of activities was made that threaten ...
