Robots interacting with humans pose data privacy risks, potentially leading to uncontrollable leaks of personal information. Robots interact with older adults in public places, homes, care facilities, and hospitals. Older adults may have concerns about privacy issues related to robots and would benefit from developing their robot literacy skills regarding data privacy. Research on older adults’ robot literacy in relation to data privacy is scarce. We conducted a qualitative and explorative human-centered design study with care home residents (N=9) to explore their perceptions of and interest in robot data privacy literacy. In the study, they interacted with an early prototype of a robot-assisted learning application implemented on the social robot QTrobot. Participants were concerned about the "superpowers" and data storage of robots. Based on our findings and existing literature, we redesigned the prototype into "Myth Buster," a robot-assisted learning application aimed at enhancing older adults’ data privacy literacy regarding robots. Our work contributes to the understanding of older adults’ data privacy literacy, which is currently under-researched in Human-Robot Interaction. We also present design-relevant insights for developing robot-assisted data privacy learning applications to enhance robot literacy of older adults.

Civic technologies are aimed at supporting citizens to participate in democratic processes. Civic robots - social robots that are designed to support people in civic participation - have potential to lower the barriers of participation especially for youth who face obstacles in participating through formal channels. We conducted an exploratory study with adolescents to investigate their perceptions of possible roles for civic robots. In the study, we asked participants of a youth event ($\mathrm{n}=24$, age range 14–21) to ideate civic participation related purposes and concepts for social robots. The findings suggest that scenarios in which a robot serves as social facilitator or provides decision support for civic activities seem promising. In addition, civic robots could indirectly increase participation ability by providing emotional or social support.
