Understanding the Connection Among Ikigai, Well-Being, and Home Robot Acceptance in Japanese Older Adults: Mixed Methods Study

Understanding the Connection Among Ikigai, Well-Being, and Home Robot Acceptance in Japanese Older Adults: Mixed Methods Study

In addition, feedback obtained via interviews with ikigai experts, both academic scholars and those running ikigai centers in Japan, has been largely positive about the idea of using robots cross-culturally to support ikigai [21]. Therefore, this paper presents the next step in answering if and how robots might support Japanese older adults’ ikigai. This also entails exploring which older adults may be most open to having QT, a humanoid desktop robot, as an “ikigai” robot in their homes.
