contents This paper presents an empirical study investigating how individuals across different age groups, children, young and older adults, interpret emotional body language expressed by the humanoid robot NAO. The aim is to offer insights into how users perceive and respond to emotional cues from robotic agents, through an empirical evaluation of the robot's effectiveness in conveying emotions to different groups of users. By analyzing data collected from elderly participants and comparing these findings with previously gathered data from young adults and children, the study highlights similarities and differences between the groups, with younger and older users more similar but different from young adults.
