This dataset offers insights into the perspectives on Socially Assistive Robots (SARs) among 25 older adults and 15 clinicians/carers. Part A provides demographic information, daily activity profiles, and technology proficiency assessments using the Technology Experience Profile and Mobile Device Proficiency Questionnaire. Part B includes attitudinal assessments via adapted scales like the Negative Attitudes towards Robots Scale (NARS) and Technology-Specific Expectation Scale (TSES), along with custom queries, to address research objectives regarding SARs' acceptance and expectations among participants.
