This project studies the feasibility of the initial prototype for human-robot social interaction, exploring the diverse functionalities offered by the Pepper robot. The study encompasses interaction through voice and a tablet, covering features such as conversation, information retrieval, and cognitive and physical stimulation exercises. Study participants will test the Pepper robot in two weekly sessions over the course of a month.
Simultaneously, the study authors will observe and reflect on the ethical aspects associated with the implementation of a social robot in residences of this kind. This will involve the analysis of applicable regulations and the identification of ethical concerns related to the use of social robots in these contexts.
