Needs and Preferences of Middle-Aged and Older Adults in Taiwan for Companion Robots and Pets: Survey Study

Needs and Preferences of Middle-Aged and Older Adults in Taiwan for Companion Robots and Pets: Survey Study

Studies have shown that older people prefer less human-looking robots [11,12] and especially enjoy pet-like robots, which are widely used in the care of elderly persons with intellectual disabilities and provide pet-like companionship in lieu of real animals [13,14]. For example, the therapeutic robotic seal pet PARO, which was developed in Japan in 2004, has a body covered with more than 100 sensors and can interact with people.
