Research and Development of a Communication Robot to Support ADL of Elderly People in Nursing Homes
(Himika, Inc.)
Main Features
Multiple communication robots are linked to tablets or PCs for data coordination in shared spaces of nursing care facilities, such as nursing homes and day services.
Product Features
- By interacting with communication robots, elderly people in nursing care facilities can become interested in such robots, think, and engage in physical activities; this helps to maintain and improve activities of daily living (ADL) of elderly people in care.
- Maintaining and improving ADL is crucial, as any deterioration in nursing care level of the elderly increases the burden on caregiving staff.
- Increasing the amount of time elderly people spend interacting with such robots without the participation of caregiving staff helps to reduce staff workloads.
Technical Features
- By linking topics (conversations, songs, etc.), images, and quizzes, users can interact with multiple robots using a tablet as a robot communication tool.
