Dementia is one of the higher neurological dysfunctions that reduce the quality of life (QOL). External support can enhance conation and self-efficacy of dementia patients. A remote operation robot attracts our attention as an external support. It can intrigue dementia patients, but, it is impossible to enhance self-efficacy because there is no active involvement of dementia patients. We suggested a robot race game to enhance self-efficacy and developed a robot operated system that dementia patients could use for physical exercise. It was recommended to enhance the self-efficacy of dementia patients because they laughed operating the robot in this study.
