Social Robot Services to Substitute Humans as a Companion and Virtual Assistant

Robot involvement in everyday human surroundings has expanded in recent years because of robots' continuing evolution and development. According to prior studies, a lonely person tends to connect, and social presence can be one of the elements. In this study, sequential equation modeling (SEM) was applied. Non-probability-purposive sampling with respondents who were aware of social robots and cited any cities in Indonesia resulted in 242 respondents whose data was gathered between December 22, 2022, and January 5, 2023. According to the results, the hypothesis's perceived ease of use for the Intention to use and perceived Enjoyment for the Intention to use were found to be two hypotheses that are not significant.
