“…Walking has been recognised as an active mode of mobility, involving low-intensity physical activity for residents and it offers significant economic, safety, environmental, social and health benefits as a means of transportation 11 . One of the prevailing trends in contemporary robotics is the collaboration between humans and robots, where robots serve as collaborative assistants and partners in shared tasks, one important use case is the human-following scenario where a human and a robot collaborate on a common task or a daily activity that requires the robot following the movements of the human 30 . However, it remains unclear what the Purpose of this study.…”

With the ever-pressing challenges of societal ageing, robotic technologies for older people are increasingly portrayed as a solution for better independent living for longer. However, the application of human-following robots for elderly citizens has not yet been considered, and any prospective benefits offered by the technology for active ageing have previously been overlooked. This qualitative research aimed to explore older people’s needs and requirements towards the human-following robot through the reflexive thematic analysis of semi-structured interview data from 17 independent older adults, supported by a video-based demonstration of the robot. The results indicate that older people believed that human-following robot has the potential to provide social benefits to an independent older adult by encouraging walking trips and prompting social interaction with others in the community. Practical limitations and cost of the robot are barriers to adoption at present. The findings indicate that there is potential for human-following robots to support active ageing, through increasing opportunities for the social participation of an older adult, but further development of the robot is needed for this potential to be realised.

“…However, the integration of autonomous robots into human environments is not without significant challenges, particularly when it comes to ensure safety during autonomous obstacle avoidance tasks [6], [7]. Autonomous obstacle avoidance [8] and human following [9] is a critical feature for any autonomous robot operating in a human-populated environment [10]. It is a capability that allows a robot to navigate through an environment avoiding static and dynamic obstacles, including humans.…”

The purpose of this research is to investigate how an interaction between humans and robots influences a safety of an autonomous obstacle avoidance task. The research collected and analyzed data from surveys and interviews using a combination of quantitative and qualitative methodologies. The findings contributed to our understanding of a complex interplay between a human-robot interaction, a perception, and a robot navigation safety. Based on these findings, the study proposed a number of recommendations for improving both physical and psychological safety aspects of an autonomous robot navigation.
