Abstract
The increase in elderly population is emerging as a serious social issue. The coronavirus pandemic has increased the number of elderly people suffering from depression and loneliness owing to the lack of face-to-face activities. In this study, we developed an integrated system for the human-care robot service, considering cognitive and emotional support for elderly people, and verified its stability and usefulness in the real world. We recruited 40 elderly people for an apartment testbed environment experiment and two elderly people living alone for a long time participated in the experiment at their homes. Quantitative experimental results were analyzed by comparing service success rates and user satisfaction in two different test environments to verify the stability of the service. Qualitative evaluations were also conducted through surveys and interviews to assess the usefulness of the service.
