Socially Assistive Robots (SAR) has been suggested as an important technology in the shift of care from institution to home environments, and has been shown to nr effective in addressing loneliness and social isolation among older adults (Lee et al. 2023., Lorenz et al., 2016, Shishehgar et al., 2018). In a newly started research project RO-LIV, we employ a user experience design approach, involving older adults as co-designers and engaged actors, in order to identify needs, solutions, and obstacles for integrating socially assistive robots into older adults' homes. The research is organized into three work packages: Needs Analysis, Current Situation Analysis, and Conditions and Obstacles for Integration into the Home Environments. The expected results include a road map for the integration of socially assistive robots into older adults' homes, informed by a nuanced understanding of user needs and preferences. Overall, we emphasize the importance of adopting a user-centered approach in human-robot interaction research, particularly when designing solutions for older adults. By involving older adults in the design process and addressing their diverse needs, researchers can develop robotic systems that are address real user needs, are socially acceptable, and has an increased potential for adoption and impact on quality of life.
