| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This project investigated the perspectives of human-machine interaction for assisting human agents and human empowerment. First, stakeholder interviews with potential caregivers showed that advanced technology using AI and robotics is appreciated in many care scenarios if the technology would support caregivers and care recipients. However, the current state of most AI/robotics-based technologies does not meet this requirement and does not play any significant role in daily care work.
It proved necessary to understand further human agency and how technology must be designed to fit human behavior. Based on an analysis of one of the few cases of a successfully implemented robotic rehabilitation system, a relational model was proposed for how to design human-machine interaction to support human empowerment. Most importantly, human needs and values must guide the entire development process.
