AbstractSocially Assistive Robots (SARs) are interactive, intelligent systems that employ social interaction strategies to assist in a specific healthcare context (Feil Seifer et al, 2005). This work contribute to the improvement of the quality of life of elderly people at home through assistants based on proactive and affective robotic platforms, and the study of their proactive intervention, according to the needs of the user and their context. The main contribution of this work is to model and implement proactive behaviors, where the robot intervenes and collaborates with the elderly person by its own initiative, based on the context, and always ensuring non-intrusiveness and privacy (Figure 1) (Villa et al, 2022).Keywords: socially assistive robots, proactivity, affective computing, cognitive computing
