Abstract
As technological advancements thrive in finding new ways to improve day to day live, more sophisticated products are released to the market, such as social robots. With the sophistication of technologies, the problem of demographic growth of older people poses a bigger problem. This work studies how these new tools can be used as an addition to older adults’ daily routines in care centers, and as a support tool for caregivers. To do this, a proposal of a cooking themed serious game with the social robot Pepper is used as the guiding purpose for the development. This game is further tested with real users in a first contact simulation, to assess how the users react to the new system as well as to take metrics by the use of the System Usability Scale. Results show positive reactions from the users to the interaction format proposed.
