Many care robots have received a lot of attention to help elderly people, however existing care robots have difficult to adapt personalization. For instance, some programmers have to customize robot program to meet needs of individual. In this paper, the authors' goal is design and develop care robot which provides personalization for an individual elderly people with an efficient and reasonable way. Their proposed service consists of three essential components; VirtualCareGiver (VCG), VirtualCarePersonalizer (VCP) and CareTemplate. VCG is a robot agent, which provides a personalization and integration for each elderly people. The VCG is offered care tasks based on care template which VCP generates. VCP provides adaptation for individual elderly on the cloud. The authors also conduct an experimental evaluation to demonstrate the feasibility with actual 11 subjects in a day care center. As a result, both font size and voice volume are especially contributed for the subjects.
