Robots are seen as a potential solution to the perceived needs of the aging population. Thus far, research has primarily focused on robotics for the functional and emotional support of older adults. Robotic pets have been developed primarily for the older adult who is perceived as lonely and isolated, and fears have consequently arisen that robots will replace human caregivers and deceive older adults into developing relationships with them. Missing is the perspective of older adults on the ethics of and potential uses for robotic companion pets. In this study, we conducted focus groups with 41 older adults. We discuss concepts raised by focus group participants such as giving into the fiction of the robotic pet, the social role of the robot, and the role of reciprocity in building a relationship with a robotic pet. We present resulting considerations for new directions for robotic pet design for older adults.

“…This approach stands in contrast with most approaches where aging people are generally not consulted. While there aren't many examples of PD in robotics, some, such asŠabanović et al [19] have used PD to design socially assistive robots with older adults. This paper provides another example of how PD can be used, but emphasising the value of alternating phases of mutual learning and reflection/refining in this PD process.…”

“…A novel aspect of this process is that it does not begin by teaching users about the capabilities/limitations of robotics (cf., [12,19,1]), yet incorporates the user in the earliest stages of design. This ensures a focus on user needs without being derailed by a focus on particular technologies.…”

“…Using robots to assist and support older adults to maintain their independence, and enhance their well-being is not a new idea in Human-Robot Interaction (e.g., [1,19]). As highlighted earlier, the application (and design) of technologies, including robots are often driven by (erroneous) assumptions about aging people or by goals to reduce human carers.…”

Abstract. The day-to-day experiences of aging citizens differ significantly from young, technologically savvy engineers. Yet, well-meaning engineers continue to design technologies for aging citizens, informed by skewed stereotypes of aging without deep engagements from these users. This paper describes a co-design project based on the principles of Participatory Design that sought to provide aging people with the capacity to co-design technologies that suit their needs. The project combined the design intuitions of both participants and designers, on equal footing, to produce a companion robot in the form of a networked robotic dog. Besides evaluating a productive approach that empowers aging people in the process of co-designing and evaluating technologies for themselves, this paper presents a viable solution that is playful and meaningful to these elderly people; capable of enhancing their independence, social agency and well-being.

“…By designing a map, the robot navigates automatically to approach a target by adjusting itself on the map and avoiding the obstacles. The robot can also provide the facilitation to bring and fetch service by learning the object [53] and it works according to the order of user by technique of face recognition.…”

Abstract-In this era and in the future, artificially intelligent machines are replacing and playing a key role to enhance human capabilities in many areas. It is also making life style better by providing convenience to all including normal human beings and professionals as well. That is why AI is gaining huge attention and popularity in the field of computer science by which it has revolutionized the rapidly growing technology known as expert system. The applications of AI are working in many areas with huge impact and being used widely as well. AI provides quality and efficiency in almost every area, we are evolving it in. The main purpose of this paper is to explore the area of medical and health-care with respect to AI along with 'Machine Learning', and 'Neural Networks'. This work explores the current use of AI in innovations, in the particular field of Bio-Medical and evaluated that how it has improved hospital inpatient care and other sectors related to it i.e. smart medical home, virtual presence of doctors and patients, automation in diagnostic, etc. that has changed the infrastructure of medical domain. Finally, an investigation of some expert systems and applications is made. These systems and applications are widely used throughout the world and a ranking mechanism of their performance has proposed accordingly in an organized manner. We hope, this work will be helpful for the researchers coming to this particular area and to provide a syntactic information that how computer science (i.e. AI, ANN, ML) is revolutionizing the field of biomedical and healthcare.
