植物とのインタラクションが可能な鉢植えロボットの開発

抄録

In this study, we propose a flowerpot robot for dementia prevention. The robot consists of a flowerpot, microcomputer and multiple sensors. To interact with a user, the robot expresses its state by posting a comment to a social networking site (SNS) . Additionally, the robot can talk to other nearby flowerpot robots on the SNS. This function encourages mutual approach of the robot users, and is expected to activate communications among the users. This paper investigates the sensor characteristics and implemented the comment posting function.
