“…The Serroga project [18], direct successor of Companionable, moved from the constraints of their AAL-equipped living labs into users' homes. They successfully tested their robot with nine users for a total duration of 16 days in which the elderly users could use the robot for multiple hours without any guidance or intervention.…”

In this article, we present results obtained from field trials with the Hobbit robotic platform, an assistive, social service robot aiming at enabling prolonged independent living of older adults in their own homes. Our main contribution lies within the detailed results on perceived safety, usability, and acceptance from field trials with autonomous robots in real homes of older users. In these field trials, we studied how 16 older adults (75 plus) lived with autonomously interacting service robots over multiple weeks. Robots have been employed for periods of months previously in home environments for older people, and some have been tested with manipulation abilities, but this is the first time a study has tested a robot in private homes that provided the combination of manipulation abilities, autonomous navigation, and nonscheduled interaction for an extended period of time. This article aims to explore how older adults interact with such a robot in their private homes. Our results show that all users interacted with Hobbit daily, rated most functions as well working, and reported that they believe that Hobbit will be part of future elderly care. We show that Hobbit's adaptive behavior approach towards the user increasingly eased the interaction between the users and the robot. Our trials reveal the necessity to move into actual users' homes, as only there, we encounter real-world challenges and demonstrate issues such as misinterpretation of actions during non-scripted human-robot interaction. The research leading to these results has received funding from the European Community's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013) under grant agreement No. 288146 (HOBBIT).

“…It was a anthropomorphic robot that comprised a touch-based graphical interface, two OLED displays as eyes to express emotions, a tray to carry objects in the house and a docking battery for recharging. The robot was capable of recognising, detecting and tracking the user at various places in the house [67]. The work continued for three years and later an adaptive version of the robot was programmed and evaluated.…”

Abstract:As the field of social robotics is growing, a consensus has been made on the design and implementation of robotic systems that are capable of adapting based on the user actions. These actions may be based on their emotions, personality or memory of past interactions. Therefore, we believe it is significant to report a review of the past research on the use of adaptive robots that have been utilised in various social environments. In this paper, we present a systematic review on the reported adaptive interactions across a number of domain areas during Human-Robot Interaction and also give future directions that can guide the design of future adaptive social robots. We conjecture that this will help towards achieving long-term applicability of robots in various social domains.

“…Conscientes de esta realidad, la robótica asistencial se ha propuesto como una alternativa y solución para el cuidado de las personas mayores en sus propios hogares. Diversos son los proyectos europeos, como Excite [6], Teresa [8] o GiraffPlus [3], que proponen la fusión de entornos domóticos con plataformas móviles capaces de ofrecer diversos servicios a los usuarios [5,4].…”

ResumenEn el contexto de un robot de servicio o asistencial, y en relación a su interacción con un usuario, este trabajo presenta un sistema que permite al robot ofrecer y llevar a cabo partidas de juegos de mesa. El sistema propuesto, que busca ampliar el abanico de actividades que el robot puede compartir con el usuario, se centra en ofrecer una experiencia lo más similar posible a una partida tradicional entre dos personas. Para ello, el juego se proyecta sobre una mesa mediante un pequeño proyector montado sobre el robot, y un sistema de percepción visual es empleado para detectar los movimientos del usuario. El sistema propuesto es especialmente interesante para robots asistenciales en entornos residenciales con personas mayores, permitiendo al usuario desarrollar diferentes actividades beneficiosas para su salud (memoria, reflejos, coordinación, etc.). Para validar el sistema propuesto, se presenta un caso práctico con un robot real en un entorno de laboratorio.Palabras clave: HRI, interacción robot-usuario, juegos de mesa, transformación proyectiva, ROS
