| Abstract |
In this paper we describe the development and exploration of the concept of Perceived Adaptiveness, based on observations in previous experiments with a robotic companion in eldercare and on findings in related research. We integrated this concept in our technology acceptance methodology for robotic eldercare companions and found in experiments with a robotic agent and a screen agent (n=30 for both) that adaptiveness of the system as perceived by elderly users is indeed a relevant item. It can be viewed as a direct influence on the usefulness of the agent as perceived by the users.
