Many older adults value their independence and prefer to age in place. Robots can be designed to assist older people with performing everyday living tasks and maintaining their independence at home. Yet, there is a scarcity of knowledge regarding older adults' attitudes toward robots and their preferences for robot assistance. Twenty-one older adults ( = 80.25 years old, = 7.19) completed questionnaires and participated in structured group interviews investigating their openness to and preferences for assistance from a mobile manipulator robot. Although the older adults were generally open to robot assistance for performing home-based tasks, they were selective in their views. Older adults preferred robot assistance over human assistance for many instrumental (e.g., housekeeping, laundry, medication reminders) and enhanced activities of daily living (e.g., new learning, hobbies). However, older adults were less open to robot assistance for some activities of daily living (e.g., shaving, hair care). Results from this study provide insight into older adults' attitudes toward robot assistance with home-based everyday living tasks.
许多老年人重视自己的独立性，更愿意居家养老。可以设计机器人来协助老年人完成日常生活任务，并在家中维持他们的独立性。然而，关于老年人对机器人的态度及其对机器人协助的偏好，目前缺乏相关知识。21名老年人（平均年龄=80.25岁，标准差=7.19）完成了问卷调查，并参与了结构化小组访谈，调查他们对移动操纵机器人协助的接受程度和偏好。尽管老年人总体上对机器人协助完成居家任务持开放态度，但他们的观点具有选择性。在许多工具性活动（如家务、洗衣、服药提醒）和增强的日常生活活动（如新知识学习、爱好）方面，老年人更喜欢机器人协助而非人工协助。然而，老年人对机器人协助一些日常生活活动（如剃须、头发护理）的接受程度较低。这项研究的结果为了解老年人对机器人协助完成居家日常生活任务的态度提供了见解。
