Open-ended responses
Responses to the open-ended questions “Is there anything you would change?” and “What other information would you add to the events, if any” suggest the most common type of comments concerned the size of the images. Participants wanted larger photos and/or being able to zoom in parts of the images.
Participants also suggested other types of information that could be recorded, including chronological overviews of activities, visitors to the house and technical information about the robot. In addition they suggested that the facility to check the robot’s memory could be used by carers remotely to alert them to potential problems that the user might have.
