Introduction
Problem Statement
We live in an ageing society, the number of elderly people is ever increasing (OECD, 2007) [1]. As a consequence, pressure on caregivers is also rising. Researching possibilities to alleviate this pressure by means of a robotic platform is what we are going to do in the following eight weeks. However this platform cannot be any platform since the emotional comfort is vital in medical environments (ANR, 2005) [2]. As a result our research will have as main focus the emotional response of elderly people in the presence of such a robotic agent. Except for the emotional response the dignity of this robotic platform will be assessed as well. Since our group is a multidisciplinary team this problem will be approached from both a technical perspective and a user centered perspective.
Initial ideas
Objectives
To get a better overview of what needs to be done to complete the project, we set ourselves a couple objectives:
'System objectives:'
- The system should be able to express emotions in a manner that is natural, non-ambiguous and clear.
- The system should behave like a human, without entering the uncanny valley.
'Research objectives:'
- We want to understand how elderly react to different facial emotions/designs expressed by a robot.
- We want to optimize the way that robots show emotions to elderly-users.
State of the Art
Different themes related to our project can be identified. They are listed here, together with the relevant papers that provide the stated information.
Robot emotion expression
Different papers provide an insight into the existing technology in the field of recognizing human emotion in HCI research.[3]
