“…Figure 1 shows the robo-coach and its main interface. The robot used is a Sanbot Elf [ 34 ], which was selected based on a previous study [ 35 ]. The robot was selected based on (i) use-specific criteria, (ii) technical and physical requirements, (iii) input and output capabilities, (iv) connectivity, (v) (further) development capabilities, (vi) cost, and (vii) market availability.…”

“…For this, the robo-coach had to perform the following tasks (cf. Figure 1 —main screen): (i) introduce the project and its goals to users (‘About the Project’), (ii) train users on the project’s smartphone app (‘AgeWell Smartphone App’), and (iii) have users complete a simple questionnaire (‘Questionnaire’) [ 35 ]. More details on the three main functions are shown in Figure 2 : Project Introduction (‘About the Project’) : The aim of this function was for the robot to introduce the AgeWell project and its aims to the target group.…”

To support the increasing number of older people, new (assistive) technologies are constantly being developed. For these technologies to be used successfully, future users need to be trained. Due to demographic change, this will become difficult in the future, as the resources for training will no longer be available. In this respect, coaching robots could have great potential to support younger seniors in particular. However, there is little evidence in the literature about the perceptions and potential impact of this technology on the well-being of older people. This paper provides insights into the use of a robot coach (robo-coach) to train younger seniors in the use of a new technology. The study was carried out in Austria in autumn 2020, involving 34 participants equally distributed among employees in their last three years of service and retirees in their first three years of retirement (23 female; 11 male). The aim was to assess participants’ expectations and perceptions by examining the perceived ease of use and user experience of the robot in providing assistance during a learning session. The findings reveal a positive impression of the participants and promising results for using the robot as a coaching assistant in daily tasks.
