The future of aged care", Mind Mach, Springer 2006 he and his co-author Linda Sparrow, an independentt Age Care Consultant, emphasis the importance of social and emotional needs of older persons, which robots are incapable of meeting. The use of robots in elderly care would be detrimental to the well-being of the elderly people.
