Robotics and AI to enhance aged care: challenges and solutions

A new chapter published on arXiv explores the integration of robotic systems and ambient intelligence to improve care for older adults in residential and private homes. It frames these settings as challenging environments for human-robot interaction (HRI), emphasizing the need for designs that accommodate diverse resident needs and limited technical support. The chapter details considerations for interaction design, focusing on accessibility for users with low digital literacy, and addresses crucial aspects like privacy, trust, and acceptability through practical strategies and alignment with AI and privacy regulations. It concludes by identifying open research challenges for scalable, regulation-ready deployments that promote dignified and independent aging. AI

IMPACT This research outlines strategies for integrating AI and robotics into aged care, addressing key challenges in human-robot interaction and regulatory compliance.
