Numerous projects, normally run by younger people, are exploring robot use by older people. But are older any different from younger people in the way they want to interact with robots? Understanding older compared to younger people’s preferences will give researchers more insight into good design. We compared views on multi-modal human–robot interfaces, of older people living independently, with students and university staff. We showed 96 participants aged under 65 and 18 aged 65 + , six videos presenting different scenarios, including interfaces both working properly and failing, for an older man interacting with a robot by speech and touch screen tablet. Participants were asked about the interfaces they might use and why, using self-completed questionnaires with mainly open-ended questions. People over 65 were more like people under 21 than those aged 22–64 (78%, 67%, 47% respectively) in preferring speech over tablet for robot–human interaction. But reasons for doing so may differ, for example, hearing and eyesight impairment versus speaking while hands full. Older participants were more likely (83% vs. 55%) to want a robot in the house than those under 65. Older people were as familiar with tablets and smart speakers as younger people, but less likely to use smart phones. Some younger people suggested interacting with robot via their smart phone, and while not at home. Answers to similar questions about preferences for robot interaction varied according to position in the questionnaire. User-centred design of human–robot interfaces should include open questions to understand people’s preferences, should account for question wording and order in interpreting user preferences, and should include people of all age ranges to better understand interface use. Older people’s technology needs have differences and similarities to the younger people who are likely carrying out the research. Our sample of older people were more like people under 21 than those aged in between for preference of robot–human interaction, and more willing to have a robot in the home than younger people. Differences may come from a more home based lifestyle and difficulties with vision, hearing, or dexterity rather than lack of interest in technology.

老年人与年轻人互动的方式是否与年轻人不同?基于场景的调查

通常由年轻人运营的许多项目都在探索老年人使用机器人的方法。但是,老年人与年轻人在与机器人进行交互的方式上有什么不同吗?与年长者相比,了解年轻人的偏好将使研究人员对好的设计有更多的了解。我们将关于多模式人机界面,独立生活的老年人与学生和大学工作人员的观点进行了比较。我们向96位65岁以下的参与者和18岁以上的65岁以上的参与者展示了六个视频,这些视频针对不同年龄段的老年人(通过语音和触摸屏平板电脑与机器人进行交互)展示了不同的场景,包括界面正常工作和发生故障。参与者被问到他们可能使用的界面,以及为什么使用带有主要开放性问题的自我完成的调查表。与22-64岁的人相比,65岁以上的人更喜欢21岁以下的人(分别为78%,67%,47%),他们更喜欢语音而不是平板电脑来进行人机交互。但是这样做的原因可能会有所不同,例如,听觉和视力的损​​害与双手举起时的讲话有所不同。与65岁以下的人群相比,年龄较大的参与者更有可能在家中使用机器人(83%比55%)。与年轻人相比,老年人对平板电脑和智能扬声器的熟悉程度与年轻人相同,但使用智能手机的可能性较小。一些年轻人建议通过智能手机与机器人互动,而不是在家时。关于机器人交互偏好的类似问题的答案根据调查表中的位置而有所不同。人机界面的以用户为中心的设计应包括开放性问题,以了解人们的偏好,应该在解释用户偏好时考虑问题的措辞和顺序,并应包括所有年龄段的人以更好地了解界面的使用。老年人的技术需求与可能进行这项研究的年轻人有所不同和相似。我们的老年人样本更喜欢21岁以下的人,而不是年龄在21岁以下的人,他们更喜欢机器人与人的互动,并且比年轻人更愿意在家中安装机器人。差异可能来自更加以家庭为基础的生活方式,以及视力,听力或敏捷性方面的困难,而不是对技术缺乏兴趣。老年人的技术需求与可能进行这项研究的年轻人有所不同和相似。我们的老年人样本更喜欢21岁以下的人,而不是年龄在21岁以下的人,他们更喜欢机器人与人的互动,并且比年轻人更愿意在家中安装机器人。差异可能来自更加以家庭为基础的生活方式,以及视力,听力或敏捷性方面的困难,而不是对技术缺乏兴趣。老年人的技术需求与可能进行这项研究的年轻人有所不同和相似。我们的老年人样本更喜欢21岁以下的人,而不是年龄在21岁以下的人,他们更喜欢机器人与人的互动,并且比年轻人更愿意在家中安装机器人。差异可能来自更加以家庭为基础的生活方式,以及视力,听力或敏捷性方面的困难,而不是对技术缺乏兴趣。
