By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-Investigators publish new report on Ro botics. According to news originating from Lisbon, Portugal, by NewsRx correspon dents, research stated, "Communication among some older adults is affected by co gnitive and mobility impairments. This increases isolation, particularly for tho se residing in care homes, and leads to accelerated cognitive decline." Financial supporters for this research include ShiftHRI project, a CMU Portugal Exploratory Project - Fundaco para a Ciencia e Tecnologia (FCT), LASIGE Research Unit, Fundacao para a Ciencia e a Tecnologia (FCT), FCT|FCCN (b-on). Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from the University of L isbon, "Previous research has leveraged assistive robots to promote recreational routines and communication among older adults, with the robot leading the inter action. However, older adults could have more agency in the interaction, as robo ts could extend elders' intentions and needs. Therefore, we explored an approach whereby the robot's agency is shifted to the older adults who lead the interact ion by commanding a robot's actions using interactive physical blocks (tangible blocks). We conducted sessions with 22 care home dwellers where they could excha nge messages and objects using the robot. Based on older adults' observed behavi ors during the sessions and perspectives gathered from interviews with geriatric professionals, we reflect on the opportunities and challenges for increased use r agency and the asymmetries that emerged from differing abilities and personali ty traits."
