- Abstract: As AI-enabled robots enter the realm of healthcare and caregiving, it is
important to consider how they will address the dimensions of care and how they
will interact not just with the direct receivers of assistance, but also with
those who provide it (e.g., caregivers, healthcare providers etc.). Caregiving
in its best form addresses challenges in a multitude of dimensions of a
person's life: from physical, to social-emotional and sometimes even
existential dimensions (such as issues surrounding life and death). In this
study we use semi-structured qualitative interviews administered to healthcare
professions with multidisciplinary backgrounds (physicians, public health
professionals, social workers, and chaplains) to understand their expectations
regarding the possible roles robots may play in the healthcare ecosystem in the
future. We found that participants drew inspiration in their mental models of
robots from both works of science fiction but also from existing commercial
robots. Participants envisioned roles for robots in the full spectrum of care,
from physical to social-emotional and even existential-spiritual dimensions,
but also pointed out numerous limitations that robots have in being able to
provide comprehensive humanistic care. While no dimension of care was deemed as
exclusively the realm of humans, participants stressed the importance of
caregiving humans as the primary providers of comprehensive care, with robots
assisting with more narrowly focused tasks. Throughout the paper we point out
the encouraging confluence of ideas between the expectations of healthcare
providers and research trends in the human-robot interaction (HRI) literature.

This paper is an attempt to partially answer the question, via two waves of experiments with patients and companions in a day-care gerontological facility in Paris with a full-sized humanoid robot endowed with social and conversational interaction capabilities.
Overall, the users are receptive to this technology, especially when the robot perception and action skills are robust to environmental clutter and flexible to handle a plethora of different interactions.
