Abstract

It becomes to extend robot service domains to user friendly emotional services from simple passive services in the ubiquitous computing environment. In this paper, we present a development case of an experimental robot platform for the URC emotional model. The emotional robot platform is the thing which induces the intimate sense to children and contributes to the emotional stability of children for the experiment of the URC emotion model. This is able to make use of the robot-assisted activity and robot-assisted therapy through the emotional mutual response with robot and human. Moreover, it will be able to be used for child-care services based on the action interpretation and artificial emotion.
