Abstract

The aging of population is a common problem worldwide. At present, socially assistive robots (SAR) for the elderly are regarded as the major solution to alleviating care for the elderly, but there are still many problems. This paper tries to put forward suggestions for the SAR design thinking and definition in smart care for the aged, provide more humane service quality and improve the happiness of independent living of the elderly. In this context, this paper emphasizes the human-centered design (HCD) drive, combines the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) with the nine categories of SAR, and proposes the SAR design procedure, the design ideas of emotion regeneration and enhancement in smart care for the age, as well as the definition of SAR product attributes. The research results can be used as reference and guidance in design practice, so as to provide more human service quality and improve the happiness of independent living of the elderly in the super-aged society.
