Abstract:Emulating empathy in human-robot interaction is a key component for achieving satisfying social, trustworthy, and ethical robot interaction with older people. Following comments from older adult study participants, the article uses humanities methods to identify a gap in defining empathetic robot care activities. It provides a design focus to mitigate it. Current human-robot designs, to a certain extent, neglect to include empathy as a theorized design pathway. Using one digital humanities research collection on humanoid robots, it contributes an empathetic care vocabulary as a design pathway for a productive underlying foundation for designing Socially Assistive Robots (SARs) that aim to support older people's goals of aging-in-place. Using rhetorical theory, this paper defines the socio-cultural expectations for convincing empathetic relationships.
