+
+
+<p style="test-align: center;">Trust is a key factor in ensuring acceptable
+human-robot interaction, especially in settings where robots
+may be assisting with critical activities of daily living. When
+practically deployed, robots are bound to make occasional
+mistakes, yet the degree to which these errors will impact a care
+recipient’s trust in the robot, especially in performing physically
+assistive tasks, remains an open question. To investigate this,
+we conducted experiments where participants interacted with
+physically assistive robots which would occasionally make inten-
+tional mistakes while performing two different tasks: bathing
+and feeding. Our study considered the error response of two
+populations: younger adults at a university (median age 26) and
+older adults at an independent living facility (median age 83).
+We observed that the impact of errors on a users’ trust in the
+robot depends on both their age and the task that the robot is
+performing. We also found that older adults tend to evaluate
+the robot on factors unrelated to the robot’s performance,
+making their trust in the system more resilient to errors when
+compared to younger adults.</p>
