ABSTRACT
A lack of motivation is the most common obstacle for physical activity. Socially Assistive Robots (SAR) can be used to motivate people to workout regularly. However, the embodiment and companionship type can influence user's engagement. We investigated the effects of embodiment (co-present vs. remote-located) and companionship (instructor vs. companion) in a video Human-Robot Interaction (vHRI) study (n=90).

Meal-time with a socially assistive robot and older adults at a long-term care facility
Special Issue on HRI System StudiesAs people get older, their ability to perform basic self-maintenance activities can be diminished due to the prevalence of cognitive and physical impairments or as a result of social isolation. The objective of our work is to design socially assistive ...
A socially assistive robot exercise coach for the elderly
Special Issue on Technical and Social Advances in HRI: An Invitational Issue of JHRIWe present a socially assistive robot (SAR) system designed to engage elderly users in physical exercise. We discuss the system approach, design methodology, and implementation details, which incorporate insights from psychology research on intrinsic ...
Differences between Young and Old Users when Interacting with a Humanoid Robot: A Qualitative Usability Study
HRI '18: Companion of the 2018 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot InteractionThere is a growing body of knowledge on how people interact with robots, but limited information on the difference between young and old adults in their preferences when interacting with humanoid robots. Our goals in the current study were: (1) to ...
