This paper presents aspects of an ongoing work for a long-term evaluation of a telepresence
robot named GIRAFF, as a tool for facilitating interaction and support delivery to older …

Most robotic systems are usually used and eval-uated in laboratory setting for a limited
period of time. The limitation of lab evaluation is that it does not take into account the …

This article reports on the EU project ExCITE with specific focus on the technical
development of the telepresence platform over a period of 42 months. The aim of the project …

Most robotic systems are usually used and evaluated in laboratory setting for a limited

The paper presents the current findings of an almost one-year case study of fielding the
Giraff robot in a real home. The testing phase, which is still running, involves an older user …

This article presents the results from a video-based evaluation study of a social robotic
telepresence solution for elderly. The evaluated system is a mobile teleoperated robot called …

Telepresence robotic systems are proposed in different contexts and specifically in the area
of social robotics for assisting older adults at home. Similarly to other robotic systems, such …

Florence project we investigate to which extent low-cost state of the art robot technology
supports elderly people to stay independent. The Florence robot supports robotic …

The goal of our studies is to iteratively refine prototypes of the robot by involving end users in
development cycles of the prototype throughout the project. The evaluations will be …

Introduction: This article describes an enhanced telepresence robot named ROBIN, part of a
telecare system derived from the GIRAFFPLUS project for supporting and monitoring older …
