Abstract

The Culture Aware Robots and Environmental Sensor Systems for Elderly Support (CARESSES) project is introduced in this paper. In the CARESSES project, a set of experiments is designed to systematically test the user experience, in which the experiment involves a user and a caregiver or a CARESSES robot inside the smart home environment, i.e., iHouse facility. The experiment results reveal that the system integration of the CARESSES robot and the smart home environment can improve the overall user experience.
