1 Worldwide there are around 50 million worldwide living with dementia. The number of people with dementia worldwide is increasing, while the number of related healthcare workers is going down. One solution to this would be using social robots to take over some tasks performed typically by human caretakers. Social robots are machines that aim to solve a particular role by following social behaviour. In prior wok they have been used for recreational activities, reminders, and encouraging exercise. 
2 \\Culture is a significant factor since the different regions have different attitudes towards robots. due to sociocultural factors. Countries like Japan or the Netherlands have a high acceptance rate, while the US and Italy are much less acceptance. Making changing to the robot depending on the country or population is an important factor in ensuring that it is seen as a legitimate tool for elderly care. Another important factor is the exposure to prior advances technologies like smart devices, computers or robots. This means that researchers are required to give more directions or that participants may not participate at all. Notably will this type of acceptance increase over time since the future elderly will have had much more exposure to technology than the current generation. At the moment can this limitation be overcome by performing longer studies, which research has shown leads to higher acceptance rate from users. Interestingly is the usability of a robot that does groep conversation much lower than that of a robots focusing on daily activities or elderly needs.
