Inclusive Design: Task Specified Robots for Elderly

Abstract

In order to improve aging populations' living quality, this paper mainly provides a broader overview of aging-care robots design. We first study the physical condition, mental health, and living habits of aging users. Then, base on safe, simple, and sustainable design principles, we propose a design strategy for aging-care robots from the aspect of robotics functioning, appearance design, human-agent interaction model, and technical analysis.
