Companionship comes not only from humans but can also come from pets or other compassionate agents such as robots (eg, socially assistive robots, companion robots, and therapeutic robots).

Gaseiger and colleagues [5] reported that older people living alone at home accepted a robot as a companion, and the functions of an aged care robot should be more personalized to meet older people’s health and social needs. A cross-sectional survey among middle-aged and older Taiwanese living in the community revealed that female participants preferred an animallike robot, while male participants favored a humanlike robot [11].
