Abstract
We report the functional enhancement of "Merurobo Digital Log system"; a network-based interactive child-watch system for nurseries. This system consists of the "Action Switch platform" which links the PaPeRo(Partner-type Personal Robot) to the cellular phone of the parent and the controller used by the nursery teacher. The enhancement is switching service sets according to the estimated context of the teacher's activities as collected by local sensors. PaPeRo is driven by the current service set. We implement and assess this system in a nursery facility. We report the result of using teacher context estimation along with the teacher's comments, recommendations, and our conclusions.
