In recent years, provisioning of human-centric services through body area networks, robotics technology and cloud computing is continuously attracting extensive attention from both academia and industry. In this paper, we propose a novel robotics and cloudassisted healthcare system (ROCHAS), which combines these three technologies to provide pervasive healthcare services and especially the mental healthcare for empty-nester who are typically old-aged, lonely and depressed. ROCHAS includes four
