  In this work, an online survey was used to understand the acceptability of
humanoid robots and users' needs in using these robots to assist with care
among people with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD), their
family caregivers, health care professionals, and the general public. From
November 12, 2020 to March 13, 2021, a total of 631 complete responses were
collected, including 80 responses from people with mild cognitive impairment or
ADRD, 245 responses from caregivers and health care professionals, and 306
responses from the general public. Overall, people with ADRD, caregivers, and
the general public showed positive attitudes towards using the robot to assist
with care for people with ADRD. The top three functions of robots required by
the group of people with ADRD were reminders to take medicine, emergency call
service, and helping contact medical services. Additional comments,
suggestions, and concerns provided by caregivers and the general public are
also discussed.
