Primary users

The primary users of our technology are elderly people. Our technology is aimed at improving the physical health of elderly people, while providing them with the comfort of their own homes. Elderly people however are often characterised as being skeptical about technology. That's why it's important to focus on how this feedback technology can be integrated in the households of the elderly people effectively. As little aversion as possible towards the technology should be provoked. Firstly it has been shown that people tend to react better to commands and feedback given by real robots than virtual agents.[1] That's why it is important that we don't just make a virtual platform that can check the physical movements of the elderly people and give feedback to it, but that its functionality is combined with a physical robot. Another thing the elderly people require in order to improve their physical activity by given feedback is the way the technology communicates with the person. The right form of persuasion has to be determined so that the elderly person don't feel a form of coercion, but merely a form of good motivation.

Secondary users

The secondary users are the care givers and the family and friends of the old people. The family and friends might feel less anxious about the physical health of the elderly person they care for, when they know that they are performing regular exercises in a appropriate way. One functionality that can be added for example is the option to check on the robot, whether the elderly has actually performed the exercises and how well they did. This way they will be able to keep track of their activity and see if progress has been made. The functionality of tracking progress can also be useful for the caregivers hence they can see how certain physical exercises are affecting their patient and if maybe some exercises have to be changed or added. A problem that comes with this added functionality, that should be considered, is the invasion of privacy.

State-of-the-art

For the use of care robots as exercise coach different kinds of research have been done. Different methods on how the robot should interact with people have been tested. For example the difference between relational and non-relational robot, where the relational one was preferred over the other [2]. Or that socially assistive robots positively affect motivation compared to smart environment interfaces such as touch screens [3]. But mostly research about the ethical consequences of the use of care robots for elderly people have been done [4]

But for how to check if the elders do their tasks, not a lot of studies have been done.

A couple of studies have been performed on Robot-Human relationships. [5] Overall, results show that socially assistive robots positively affect user experience and motivation compared to standard smart environment interfaces such astouch screens [6] In their KSERA research, Torta et al. have used Nao as an interactive humanoid robot.

Another example of an experimental humanoid care robot is the robot TAIZO which has been used by Matsusaka et al.. Matsusaka et al. have performed a research on the effects of voice command on health exercise demonstration in a robot-human collaborative demonstration. [7]
