Anthropological Implications of Robotic Systems for Senior People

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

In our digital world, social robots are becoming widely phenomenal and are being designed to simplify and help with our everyday chores (Breazeal 2003). Older population is rapidly growing worldwide, requiring an increasing amount of care, hence, technological media, namely assistive robots may be an effective method to address the growing demand for care (van Kemenade – Hoorn – Konijn 2018: 1712). It entails prominence to scholars and professionals of social robotics to comprehend the elements that promote healthy communications between humans and robots, yielding positive user evaluations, especially from senior individuals (Sundar et al. 2017). With proper guidelines in place before the introduction of robots en masse into society, these machines could enhance the lives of the aging population, reducing their dependence also bringing further openings for social interaction (Sharkey – Sharkey 2012b). Besides, significantly enough, addressing the expectations of seniors in fact allows them to live a fulfilling life (Carstensen 2011). Whilst robotic systems could accrue a plethora of benefits and assist the lives of the seniors, human robot interaction design is worth analysing with respect to the ethical and anthropological questions such as the loss of privacy, loss of control, infantilization, attribution of responsibility, loss of human contact, emotional deception, and emotional attachment. In this perspective, we go into this balance between benefit and risk through the eye of human-robot relationships (Prescott – Robillard 2020). Keywords | Anthropology, Companion robots, Robotics, Robot ethics, Senior Care
