In this research, we are studying the pet robot used to improve dementia. This pet robot is focus on animal therapy and reminiscence therapy. It is a robot that looks like an infant, and is characterized by being cared for by the target person and extremely lightweight. However, our pet robot had several problems. This robot’s moving was too simple and boring. For that reason, we change the structure of the robot. New robot is lightweight maintain and diversifies its movements. Therefore, the adoption of wire drive allows the movement of multiple joints to be reproduced with a single motor, thereby achieving weight reduction.
