Research and Development of
Communication Robots to Support Activities of Daily Living for the Elderly in Long-Term Care Facilities

In shared spaces of care facilities such as nursing homes and day service centers, multiple communication robots will be linked with tablets and computers for data integration.

Product Features

・Interacting with communication robots sparks interest among elderly residents in care facilities, encouraging them to think, move their bodies, and maintain or improve their ADL (Activities of Daily Living).
・Maintaining and improving ADL is crucial because worsening care needs places greater burdens on nursing staff.
・Increasing the time elderly residents spend interacting with robots without nursing staff reduces the workload for care providers.

Technical Features

・Using tablets as robot communication tools, users can interact with multiple robots through topic coordination (conversation, songs, etc.), image coordination, and quiz coordination.
