“…Another open question remains regarding robot-to-user adaptation in a longitudinal perspective. Although there is available research about the effects of personalization on long-term HRI, e.g., [13,17,39,48,49,65], future research could take the dynamics of anthropomorphism over time and related consequences more into account. However, customization remains poorly studied -especially in long term HRI [77] -and PO remains to be considered more in HRI research.…”

This paper presents a conceptual approach regarding robot-to-user adaptation, with a focus on the psychological effects of this adaptation process during human-robot interaction (HRI). This approach emphasizes the pertinent role of users in shaping adaptation processes. First, a literature review revealed perceived personal relevance as the central determinant of successful robot-to-user adaptation. Second, we distinguish two main types of adaptations which depend on the extent to which a user is involved: Personalization and customization. We then illustrate effects of personalization vs. customization on potential end users. In particular, anthropomorphism and psychological ownership should be taken into account in prospective research. Finally, we propose to interpret personalization and customization as two opposites of a continuum to guide future empirical research about robot adaptation, before suggesting some leads for future research about the psychological effects of adaptation processes in HRI.

“…Two additional studies assessed participants’ attitudes and acceptance of social robots after interacting with a robot as part of a cardiac rehabilitation program. 14 , 15 Broadly, the results indicated that patients and clinicians had positive thoughts regarding the usefulness, utility, safety, and trust of the robot. It is unknown whether patients with heart failure would derive similar benefit from a social robot interaction or whether these patients would be accepting of such technologies in augmenting their care.…”

Background Social robots are arriving to the modern healthcare system. Whether patients with heart failure, a prevalent chronic disease with high health and human costs would derive benefit from a social robot intervention has not been investigated empirically. Diverse healthcare provider’s perspectives are needed to develop an acceptable and feasible social robot intervention to be adopted for the clinical benefit of patients with heart failure. Objective Using a qualitative research design, this study investigated healthcare providers’ perspectives of social robot use in heart failure patient care. Method Interdisciplinary healthcare providers from a tertiary care cardiac hospital completed a structured individual interview and a supplemental questionnaire. The framework method was used to analyze the qualitative data. Results Respondents (N = 21; saturation was reached with this sample; 77% female; 52% physicians) were open to using social robots to augment their practice, particularly with collecting pertinent data and providing patient and family education and self-management prompts, but with limited responsibility for direct patient care. Prior to implementation, providers required robust evidence of: value-added beyond current remote patient monitoring devices, patient and healthcare provider partnerships, streamlined integration into existing practice, and capability of supporting precision medicine goals. Respondents were concerned that social robots did not address and masked broader systemic issues of healthcare access and equity. Conclusion The adoption of social robots is a viable option to assist in the care of patients with heart failure, albeit in a restricted capacity. The results inform the development of a social robotic intervention for patients with heart failure, including improving social robot efficiencies and increasing their uptake, while protecting patients’ and providers’ best interest.

“…Though their approach reached results with an accuracy of 67.4%, user feedback was not investigated. On the other hand, similar works adopted face recognition in a long-term study for a personalized SAR for cardiac rehabilitation on a single patient [11,12]. Despite the poor performance of user recognition, positive reactions were reported throughout the overall interaction.…”

Socially Assistive Robots (SARs) are robots that are designed to replicate the role of a caregiver, coach, or teacher, providing emotional, cognitive, and social cues to support a specific group. SARs are becoming increasingly prevalent, especially in elderly care. Effective communication, both explicit and implicit, is a critical aspect of human-robot interaction involving SARs. Intent communication is necessary for SARs to engage in effective communication with humans. Biometrics can provide crucial information about a person's identity or emotions. By linking these biometric signals to the communication of intent, SARs can gain a profound understanding of their users and tailor their interactions accordingly. The development of reliable and robust biometric sensing and analysis systems is critical to the success of SARs. In this work, we focus on four different aspects to evaluate the communication of intent involving SARs, existing works, and our outlook on future works and applications.
