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.
