      ab: Issue Robotics is one of the major domains of activity in the 21st century and will have a crucial role in enhancing the wellbeing of elderly people. Ongoing research and developments in robotics have shown that robots can provide new and innovative solutions to improve the autonomy of the elderly and thus improve their everyday lives in many respects1. Robots, which will provide indispensable help not only for the elderly but also for their family and caregivers, provide their users with technical and practical assistance as well as with affective support. Designated for domestic applications, the humanoid robotic platform is particularly adapted to provide these types of support. Different applications for the elderly are being explored and new promising perspectives have emerged. The robot can help a person to get up, remind its user to take pills, help plan his or hers appointments, detect if problems exist and alert the user, caregiver, or call for emergency assistance2. Method Created in Paris in 2005, Aldebaran Robotics3 conceives, develops and commercializes humanoid robots. Today, more than 6000 robotic platforms, known as Nao, are in use worldwide in research and educational fields. Succeeding in the academic market, Aldebaran Robotics continues to pursue its final objective; to provide humanoid robots, real companions and personal assistants and make them accessible to the general public. Results & Discussion Aldebaran's robots are developed with the constant consideration of acceptability (Figure 1). If a robot is to assist and accompany people, it is necessary that the person feels like interacting and spending time with the robot. In the near future, everyone will have a robot at home. The arrival of personal robots into our everyday lives will arouse numerous technical, societal and ethical issues. While being conscious of the challenges that they will face, Aldebaran Robotics has already working on improving the acceptability, safety, and respect for privacy of robots for human clients, etc. Numerous partners, including end users, have been involved since the very earliest stages of conception in order to create a robot that will correspond to the needs and expectations of users.
