Abstract

The number of aged people is increasing. The influence of solitude on both physical and mental health of those seniors is a social problem that needs an urgent solution in advanced societies. We propose a spoken dialogue robot that looks over elderly people through conversations by using functions of life-support via information navigation, attentive listening, and anomaly detection. In this paper, we describe a demonstration system implemented in the conversational robot.
