“…There are also some validated measures of responses and acceptance of robots (such as Negative Attitudes towards Robots Scale [ 18 ], Robotic Social Attributes Scale [ 19 ], Ethical Acceptability Scale [ 20 ], Technology-Specific Expectation Scale [ 21 ], Frankenstein Syndrome Questionnaire [ 22 ], Multi-Dimensional Robot Attitude Scale [ 23 ] or Attitudes Towards Social Robots Scale [ 24 ]), yet they do not focus on the care needs of older adults [ 25 ]. Valid and reliable tools to assess older persons’ needs and requirements regarding the properties and functions of a robot to be deployed in care are thus needed.…”

(1) Background: while there exist validated measures to assess the needs of older people, there are comparatively few validated tools to assess needs and requirements for the use of robots. Henceforth, the aim of the study is to present and validate such a tool. (2) Methods: The study group included 720 subjects (mean age 52.0 ± 37.0, 541 females) who agreed to fill the Users’ Needs, Requirements, and Abilities Questionnaire (UNRAQ). The validation part of the study included 125 persons. (3) Results: the acceptance of the robot was good in the whole group. The social functions were rated worse than assistive ones. A correlation was found between the scores of social and assistive functions. The respondents claimed that older adults were not prepared to interact with the robot and not very good at handling it, and were sceptical about their willingness to learn to operate the robot. The Cronbach alpha value for the whole questionnaire was 0.95 suggesting excellent internal consistency, and the ICC value of 0.88 represents excellent agreement; (4) Conclusions: We observed a good overall acceptance of the robot across the studied group. There is considerable demand for the use of a social robot in care for older people.

The purpose of this study was to propose a model of development of trust in social robots. Insights in interpersonal trust were adopted from social psychology and a novel model was proposed. In addition, this study aimed to investigate the relationship among trust development and self-esteem. To validate the proposed model, an experiment using a communication robot NAO was conducted and changes in categories of trust as well as self-esteem were measured. Results showed that general and category trust have been developed in the early phase. Selfesteem is also increased along the interactions with the robot.

“…It was divided into two main parts, a demographic questionnaire and a questionnaire about their preferences on the variables used in the study. This second questionnaire was designed specifically for this work, inspired by other approaches [ 38 , 39 , 40 ]. It was divided into three parts, one per each of the variables used in the study.…”

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) represent a new model of social robots for home care of dependent persons. In this regard, this article introduces a study on people’s feeling of safety and comfort while watching the monitoring trajectory of a quadrotor dedicated to determining their condition. Three main parameters are evaluated: the relative monitoring altitude, the monitoring velocity and the shape of the monitoring path around the person (ellipsoidal or circular). For this purpose, a new trajectory generator based on a state machine, which is successfully implemented and simulated in MATLAB/Simulink®, is described. The study is carried out with 37 participants using a virtual reality (VR) platform based on two modules, UAV simulator and VR Visualiser, both communicating through the MQTT protocol. The participants’ preferences have been a high relative monitoring altitude, a high monitoring velocity and a circular path. These choices are a starting point for the design of trustworthy socially assistive UAVs flying in real homes.
