Older adults prefer companion robot designs, focusing on the face and rating them higher. Younger adults scrutinize details, offering more critical design feedback, highlighting the need to consider older adults' perspectives in robot development.

Area of Science:

  • Human-Robot Interaction
  • Gerontology
  • Robotics Design

Background:

  • Companion robots offer benefits, but research on their design, particularly from older adults' perspectives, is limited.
  • Understanding diverse user groups is crucial for effective companion robot development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate and compare the viewpoints of older and younger adults regarding companion robot design.
  • To analyze gaze behavior and subjective impressions to inform robot design.

Main Methods:

  • An eye-tracking experiment was conducted with 31 older and 31 younger adults observing a bear-like robot mockup.
  • Participants completed interviews and surveys to gather qualitative and quantitative data on their impressions.

Main Results:

  • Significant differences in gaze behavior were observed: older adults focused on the face, while younger adults examined more body parts.
  • Older adults rated the robot's physical attractiveness and social likeability higher than younger adults.
  • Younger adults' detailed gaze patterns correlated with negative design feedback.

Conclusions:

  • Older adults' impressions and gaze patterns differ significantly from those of younger adults.
  • Companion robot design should prioritize older adults' preferences for user acceptance.
  • Incorporating older adults' perspectives is essential for developing user-centered companion robots.
