Samenvatting
In this book chapter, we explore how social robot's emotional care could mitigate experiences of isolation and loneliness in remote areas. We first map loneliness in different European regions, which are characterized by having vast geographical distances between cities, public services, and people's homes. We then introduce the concept of welfare technology and explain how technology is currently used to bridge the gap technology poses. As a possible solution, we propose the use and development of social robots equipped with emotional care. We review different European projects directed toward developing robots to assist older adults and persons with disabilities socially and explain their characteristics
