Abstract

Taking care of older adults is among the major challenges currently faced by ageing populations. Researchers, designers, and engineers have proposed socially assistive robots as one way of helping elderly people stay in their homes longer. In a systematic literature review, this paper wants to investigate if and how evaluations of the acceptance of socially assistive robots by older people take into account sociodemographic factors. The results indicate that this only holds true for a few studies. Research that incorporates age, gender, education, and so forth; clearly shows that these key factors have a significant impact. However, the relations are complex and experience with technology mitigates the influence of sociodemographic factors on acceptance. Assistive devices should be adaptable to individual needs to be able to consider all these factors.
人口老龄化和老年人社会辅助机器人:社会人口因素对用户接受度的重要性
照顾老年人是老龄化人口目前面临的主要挑战之一。研究人员、设计师和工程师提出了社会辅助机器人,作为帮助老年人在家里呆得更久的一种方法。在系统的文献综述中,本文希望调查老年人对社会辅助机器人的接受度评估是否以及如何考虑社会人口因素。结果表明,这只适用于少数研究。结合年龄、性别、教育程度等因素的研究;清楚地表明,这些关键因素具有显著的影响。然而,这种关系是复杂的,技术经验减轻了社会人口因素对接受度的影响。辅助装置应适应个人需要,能够考虑所有这些因素。
