Change in the Relationship Between the Elderly and Information Support Robot System Living Together

We developed an interactive communication robot to support the elderly who have mild cognitive impairment with their daily schedule. In this study, we examined how elderly people receiving information from a robot behave according to the robot’s interaction protocol, through an experiment providing schedule information for several days. In addition, we examined the interaction between humans and robots through long-term life intervention experiments and analyzed the quantitative and qualitative changes in their reactions.
