There is a growing expectation and use of robotic devices, especially communication robots, in the nursing care of the elderly. One of the features of the communication robot is that they do not just support the movements of elderlies like other nursing care robots but also support their social activities. For these reasons, the application, function and efficiency of the communication robot to the elderly are difficult to understand or even evaluable of its validity. Therefore, we propose a new method based on ICF to classify applications, functions and efficiency by capturing features that communication robots have.
