If anthropomorphic robots will be used for nursing care and rehabilitation for older people, it will critical to consider how to develop it by interdisciplinary research based on scientific evidences. It should be aimed to improve the performance of humanoid robots, in order to heal and care the older people, and prevent the progression of dementia.
