与老年人口增加相关的护理问题和费用正在成为许多国家的主要关注点。有人建议在“智能家居”环境中使用辅助机器人作为这些问题的可能部分解决方案。一个挑战是机器人的个性化以满足老年人随着时间的推移不断变化的需求。一种方法是让老年人、他们的照顾者或亲戚让机器人学习智能家居中的活动，并教它根据这些活动做出反应。最重要的前提是这种教学既直观又“非技术性”。为了评估这些问题，商用自主机器人已部署在完全传感但普通的郊区房屋中。我们将教学、学习、机器人和智能家居系统的设计方法描述为一个集成单元，并展示了在人机交互实验中对 20 名参与者的教学部分进行评估以及对 3 名参与者的学习部分进行初步评估的结果。参与者使用系统可用性量表和专门的李克特问卷报告调查结果。结果表明，参与者认为这种机器人个性化方法易于使用、有用，并且他们能够在现实生活中为自己和他人使用它。
Care issues and costs associated with an increasing elderly population are becoming a major concern for many countries. The use of assistive robots in "smart-home" environments has been suggested as a possible partial solution to these concerns. A challenge is the personalization of the robot to meet the changing needs of the elderly person over time. One approach is to allow the elderly person, or their carers or relatives, to make the robot learn activities in the smart home and teach it to carry out behaviors in response to these activities. The overriding premise being that such teaching is both intuitive and "nontechnical." To evaluate these issues, a commercially available autonomous robot has been deployed in a fully sensorized but otherwise ordinary suburban house. We describe the design approach to the teaching, learning, robot, and smart home systems as an integrated unit and present results from an evaluation of the teaching component with 20 participants and a preliminary evaluation of the learning component with three participants in a human-robot interaction experiment. Participants reported findings using a system usability scale and ad-hoc Likert questionnaires. Results indicated that participants thought that this approach to robot personalization was easy to use, useful, and that they would be capable of using it in real-life situations both for themselves and for others.
