Abstract

This extended abstract is a report on older people’s perception of interactive robots in health- and elderly care. A series of focus groups was conducted. In total 31 older people participated. The majority of the participants viewed interactive robots in health- and elderly care as an asset but they also voiced concerns regarding reliability, practical handling, costs and fear of mechanical care.
