  We present and evaluate a prototype social robot to encourage daily exercise
among older adults in a home setting. Our prototype system, designed to lead
users through exercise sessions with motivational feedback, was assessed
through a case study with a 78-year-old participant for one week. Our case
study highlighted preferences for greater user control over exercise choices
and questioned the necessity of precise motion tracking. Feedback also
indicated a desire for more varied exercises and suggested improvements in user
engagement techniques. The insights suggest that further research is needed to
enhance system adaptability and effectiveness to better promote daily exercise.
Future efforts will aim to refine the prototype based on participant feedback
and extend the evaluation to broader in-home deployments.
