Older Adults' Task Preferences for Robot Assistance in the Home
Abstrak
Artificial intelligence technologies that can assist with at-home tasks have the potential to help older adults age in place. Robot assistance in particular has been applied towards physical and cognitive support for older adults living independently at home. Surveys, questionnaires, and group interviews have been used to understand what tasks older adults want robots to assist them with. We build upon prior work exploring older adults' task preferences for robot assistance through field interviews situated within older adults' aging contexts. Our findings support results from prior work indicating older adults' preference for physical assistance over social and care-related support from robots and indicating their preference for control when adopting robot assistance, while highlighting the variety of individual constraints, boundaries, and needs that may influence their preferences.
