- Abstract: High levels of robot autonomy are a common goal, but there is a significant
risk that the greater the autonomy of the robot the lesser the autonomy of the
human working with the robot. For vulnerable populations like older adults who
already have a diminished level of autonomy, this is an even greater concern.
We propose that human autonomy needs to be at the center of the design for
socially assistive robots. Towards this goal, we define autonomy and then
provide architectural requirements for social robots to support the user's
autonomy. As an example of a design effort, we describe some of the features of
our Assist architecture.
