There is a fundamental problem with the Turing Test (Turing, 1950). It is designed to help
decide whether a machine has genuine intelligence comparable to that of a human, and …

This paper proposes a model of technology acceptance that is specifically developed to test
the acceptance of assistive social agents by elderly users. The research in this paper …

Ageing societies and the associated pressure on the care systems are major drivers for new
developments in socially assistive robotics. To understand better the real-world potential of …

The growing proportion of elderly people in society, together with recent advances in
robotics, makes the use of robots in elder care increasingly likely. We outline developments …

The world's population is aging, and developed countries are engaged in develo** a new
