The field of autonomous support systems for older adults is moving towards personalized and context-aware solutions. Researchers are exploring the use of formal verification frameworks to ensure the safety and well-being of older adults living independently at home. There is a growing concern about the security and privacy implications of social robots and cybernetic avatars, with a need for transparency, usability, and robust privacy controls. The public's perception of fully autonomous cybernetic avatars is being evaluated, with interest in their potential for physical support in daily life, but also concerns about task execution reliability. Noteworthy papers include: A Personalised Formal Verification Framework for Monitoring Activities of Daily Living of Older Adults Living Independently in Their Homes, which introduces a framework for representing and reasoning about daily activities. Is it always watching? Is it always listening? Exploring Contextual Privacy and Security Concerns Toward Domestic Social Robots, which investigates users' security and privacy concerns. Public Evaluation on Potential Social Impacts of Fully Autonomous Cybernetic Avatars for Physical Support in Daily-Life Environments: Large-Scale Demonstration and Survey at Avatar Land, which evaluates public perception of fully autonomous cybernetic avatars.
