【Development Discontinued】Research and Development of a Monitoring and Communication
Robot to Reduce Fall Risks for the Elderly

A bedside robot detects when an elderly person sits up and initiates verbal interaction, directing their attention toward the robot. This creates additional time before the person leaves the bed. This extra time provides a window for care staff to reach the elderly person.

Product Features

The fact that the communication is delivered not merely as "voice alone" from a speaker, but by a humanoid robot. Being a humanoid robot reduces the psychological distance between the voice source and the elderly person being addressed.

Technical Features

By focusing on sensing technologies such as sensor mats, the system reduces processing required by the robot itself, thereby suppressing the need for high functionality (and high cost).
