Abstract :
It has been pointed out that animals give people mental effects of enjoyment, relief and so on. We investigate various researches on physiological and psychological influences that animals have on people. We consider the influences as functions of animals, and model them. We propose a hypothesis which can be applied to a mental committed robot
