商品描述
With adults over sixty becoming an ever-increasing proportion of the global population, the challenge of accommodating the needs, preferences, and abilities, of this heterogeneous population has increased. One such method is with robots, which can be used to support everyday activities for older adults and enhance their quality of life. Older adults have been found to be quite open to the idea of interacting with robots, albeit with preferences for the nature of the task they want the robots to do. This book provides a comprehensive state-of-the-art review of the topic of designing robots for older adults.
This book translates research on aging, human factors, and human-robot interaction (HRI) into guidance that will be usable for practitioners who design robots for a range of applications. It offers a framework for HRI with a focus on personal characteristics, robot functionality, task demands, and interaction context. The application of this HRI framework for older adults provides the basis for the book. It covers the fundamentals of aging, a review of the different types of robots available now and in the future, the known facilitators and barriers for adoption and the potential of robots for different everyday activities including social engagement, health and wellness, home maintenance and security. Throughout, the authors emphasize the need to follow fundamental human factors processes and participatory design approaches that engage older adults in the design process, thus allowing the reader a thorough and contemporary understanding of robots as an essential future for assisting an aging population.
Designing Robots to Improve Quality of Life for Older Adults is intended for a broad professional audience, especially the design community, gerontologists, and human factors/ergonomics practitioners. It will also be suitable for students at the undergraduate and graduate level as a supplementary textbook for courses in human factors, design for aging, and HRI.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
隨著六十歲以上的成年人在全球人口中所佔比例不斷增加，滿足這個異質性人口的需求、偏好和能力的挑戰也隨之加大。其中一種方法是使用機器人，這些機器人可以用來支持老年人的日常活動並提升他們的生活品質。研究發現，老年人對與機器人互動的想法相當開放，儘管他們對機器人執行任務的性質有偏好。本書提供了設計針對老年人的機器人的綜合前沿回顧。
本書將有關老化、人因工程和人機互動（HRI）的研究轉化為可供設計各種應用機器人的實務工作者使用的指導。它提供了一個以個人特徵、機器人功能、任務需求和互動背景為重點的人機互動框架。這個針對老年人的HRI框架是本書的基礎。內容涵蓋老化的基本原理、目前及未來可用的各類機器人的回顧、已知的採用促進因素和障礙，以及機器人在社交互動、健康與福祉、家庭維護和安全等不同日常活動中的潛力。全書中，作者強調遵循基本的人因工程流程和參與式設計方法的重要性，這些方法能夠讓老年人參與設計過程，從而使讀者對機器人作為協助老年人口的重要未來有透徹且現代的理解。
《設計機器人以改善老年人的生活品質》旨在面向廣泛的專業讀者，特別是設計社群、老年學家以及人因工程/人體工學的實務工作者。它也適合本科生和研究生作為人因工程、老化設計和人機互動課程的補充教材。
