Abstract
LGBTIQ+ older adults (Lesbian-Gay-Bisexual-Transgender-Intersex-Queer+ others) are an underresearched community experiencing high rates of loneliness. The value sensitive design and use of social care robots provides an innovative advance toward equity for older LGBTIQ+ adults at risk of loneliness. Focusing on the LGBTIQ+ older adult and social care robot case study, values in motion design and value sensing robots are presented as solutions to the missing account of good care in value sensitive design. This constructivist study found that LGBTIQ+ connectivity and community, social connectedness, and no special attention in care are identified as key instrumental values for the older LGBTIQ+ community regarding social care robots.
