This study presents a model inspired from a
grounded theory methodology based on the successful
performance of socially assistive robots in aged-care facilities.
Conducting 17 in-depth interviews with nurses and scientists who
worked with these robots, we investigated how social robot
engagement can lead to the quality of life for aged people. The
qualitative findings show 4 categories including socially assistive
robots, robot mediation, service enablement and aged-care
service innovation. The findings support modelling and
implementing aged-care service innovation by social assistive
robots.
