An educational framework for social implementation of robotics with cooperation of multiple disciplines is developed. After a series of hearings with professionals in welfare and venture fields, a series of three workshops was held with teams consisting of students from three disciplines and advisors in the welfare field. The workshop aims at teaching students the whole process of experiencing the actual field to find ideas, brainstorming to embody the ideas, making mocks, and presenting them to professionals to evaluate commercialization possibilities. A syllabus is proposed based on the findings from the workshop and a yearlong PBL type laboratory course is currently tried out. It was found that this type of course is extremely valuable not only for the participating students but also for the professionals and teachers.
