The implications for the inclusion of robots in the daily lives of frail older adults, especially in relation to these population needs, have not been extensively studied. The "Multi-Role Shadow Robotic System for Independent Living" (SRS) project has developed a remotely-controlled, semi-autonomous robotic system to be used in domestic environments. The objective of this paper is to document the iterative procedure used to identify, select and prioritize user requirements. Seventy-four requirements were identified by means of focus groups, individual interviews and scenario-based interviews. The list of user requirements, ordered according to impact, number and transnational criteria, revealed a high number of requirements related to basic and instrumental activities of daily living, cognitive and social support and monitorization, and also involving privacy, safety and adaptation issues. Analysing and understanding older users' perceptions and needs when interacting with technological devices adds value to assistive technology and ensures that the systems address currently unmet needs.
在日常生活中引入机器人对体弱老年人的影响，特别是在这些人口需求方面，尚未得到广泛研究。“多角色阴影机器人自主生活系统”（SRS）项目开发了一种可用于家庭环境的远程控制、半自主机器人系统。本文的目的是记录用于识别、选择和优先考虑用户需求的迭代过程。通过焦点小组、个人访谈和基于场景的访谈，确定了 74 项需求。根据影响、数量和跨国标准对用户需求进行排序，结果显示与日常生活的基本和工具性活动、认知和社会支持以及监测相关的需求数量较多，还涉及隐私、安全和适应问题。在与技术设备交互时分析和理解老年用户的感知和需求，有助于为辅助技术增加价值，并确保系统满足当前未满足的需求。
