### [PERSON] (aged 70) was a very proactive participant; she actively sought ways to push her mobile telepresence robot to the limits and discover the possibilities of its use in her home and daily life. [PERSON] was married, lived with her husband and was retired. She spent much of her free time playing board games and video games with her friends. Of our participants, [PERSON] was most savvy about current technology and actively used serviceslike online message groups and online gaming software. She kept in touch with several close friends via Discord (Discord--A chat app used to communicate with others via text, video, or voice) chats or in weekly meetups. She also socialized via dinners, catch ups, game nights, online gaming, and traveling to see loved ones in person. [PERSON] found some robots to be quite unique and purposeful and had knowledge of them from science fiction. She indicated no preconceived opinions of the robot and that she wanted to go through the study with an open mind. [PERSON] used the mobile telepresence robot with her interaction partner, \(\text{[PERSON]}_{IP}\). [PERSON] advanced through the acceptance phases rather quickly and experienced the \(\text{Identification}_{6}\) phase within her first encounter with the robot; this phase was her highest ranked phase throughout the rest of her seven-month experience (Figure 4 & Table 6; Month 2 is excluded due to missing data for that session).
#### 3.4.3 Month 1 Interview: Adaptation4  
During Month 1, [PERSON] had her primary peak of the **Adaptation**4 Phase (19.05%). The **Expectation**1 phase (19.05%) was descending, and the **Identification**6 phase (28.57%) was a valley, and the **Integration**5 phase (23.81%) was ascending. Having experienced positive **Expectations**1 and **Adoption**3 (_Excitement_3) in the previous sessions, [PERSON] began **Adapting**4 to the mobile telepresence robot during her first month with it, through _Exploring_4 its various abilities and applications. This robot altered the way [PERSON] communicated with friends or family who lived in different states or countries, and she enjoyed that \"it's mobile, whereas with Zoom you just have to sit there...\" The robot \"can follow me around or I can follow you [the pilot] around\" (_Novelty_4). [PERSON] was more adventurous than the other participants. Although some days, [PERSON] and her interaction partner simply \"hung out together... [without doing] anything extensive\", her primary goal was to \"experiment to find new activities to do with\" the robot and to \"learn more possibilities for it\" (_Exploration_4). She often tried to discover the bounds of the robot's capabilities like when she \"tried [to take the robot] out for a walk [outdoors]\" (_Exploration_4). Some of [PERSON]'s adventures worked better than others. She was still learning the operations and possible uses for the robot because it was such a new device to her. For example, [PERSON] expressed the early frustration of navigating it: \"The most frustrating thing is getting it to move where you want it and when you want it\" (_Familiarization_5). She wanted to \"learn the controls better for **Selena\({}_{IP}\)**. She learned to drive the robot herself and become \"more comfortable\" with it, thus showing early signs of **Integration**5. She \"set up an obstacle course to get **[PERSON]\({}_{IP}\)** more comfortable with navigating it\" (_Familiarization_5). The valley of the **Identification**6 phase at this time was because [PERSON] talked less about _Benefits_6 and _Disadvantages_6 of the robot compared to the previous; she _Maintained_6 consistent use. 3.4.4. Month 3 Interview: **Non Use\({}_{\varnothing}\)** (Hill)  
During Month 3, [PERSON] had a slight decrease in her usage, resulting in a Hill of the **Non Use\({}_{\varnothing}\)** phase (5%). Her **Integration\({}_{5}\)** phase (30%) had a secondary peak, and she still showed **Expectation\({}_{1}\)** (15%) and **Adaptation\({}_{4}\)** (10%) descending and **Identification\({}_{6}\)** (35%) ascending. During this interview, [PERSON] reported decreasing use of the mobile telepresence robot: \"I tried to, but I have been busy\" (Lack of Use\({}_{\varnothing}\)). This was [PERSON]'s only indication of the Non Use\({}_{\varnothing}\) phase. With this instance being such a low indicator, we believe that [PERSON] never truly entered this phase, as she used it more consistently after this interview. During this interview, [PERSON] realized that she had developed a Use _Routine\({}_{5}\)_ for using the robot (**Integration\({}_{5}\)**), which she had fallen out of the habit of in Month 3 because she was busy. After this realization, [PERSON] strove to preserve her use and re-establish the routines she previously set in place. To better maintain these routines, she sought out new uses and further learned the controls for herself, discovering \"the screen's dark feature\" (i.e., the night vision mode; _Familiarization\({}_{5}\)_). 3.4.5. Month 4 Interview: Identification\({}_{6}\)  
In Month 4, [PERSON] resumed her normal _Use Routines\({}_{5}\)_ and had her primary peak of the **Identification\({}_{6}\)** phase (58.33%). She had a small secondary peak of the **Expectation\({}_{1}\)** phase (16.67%) appear, much later than expected. She also showed a valley of **Integration\({}_{5}\)** (25%).
