| Description | Robots, as a possible solution to the expected crisis of ensuring social and health care for an aging population, have been a relatively long-discussed topic with a significant ethical overlap. So far, however, we have little information about the extent to which seniors and seniors live behind the digital divide, and how this eventually affects the possibilities of using robotics to provide care. The project HUMR (Using a humanoid robot to support active aging of seniors and senior citizens of the Czech Republic TL02000362) attempts to map the possibilities of bridging identified problems through concentration on early intervention, through support of active aging and its redefinition by involving the game, and key gender overlap. The paper will present the initial concepts of the project and its first results, and will further discuss possible overlaps into the issue of care and assistance services. |
