“…The other method, VC-IOE was devised by Jones et al [ 32 ] for observing short-term emotional changes when older persons use the pet-type robot PARO. The list of observation items include six categories “Emotional engagement”, “Verbal engagement”, “Visual engagement”, “Behavioral engagement”, “Collective engagement” and “Agitation”).…”

“…The list of observation items include six categories “Emotional engagement”, “Verbal engagement”, “Visual engagement”, “Behavioral engagement”, “Collective engagement” and “Agitation”). This coding framework was adapted and translated into Japanese [ [ 32 ], p.380], and used for the current study (Table 5 ). The participants were asked to spend time with Mon-chan individually during their recreation, and their 3-min interactions were video-taped with their permission (Fig.…”

It has been reported that robotics-aided care can contribute to enhancing older people’s social participation and quality of life in nursing homes, while simultaneously reducing the burden on care professionals at nighttime. Due to increasing demand for social care and the relative workforce shortage, it is likely that a greater number and variety of robots will be introduced and implemented in the future. While the benefits of applying robots and assistive technologies are recognized, the current limitations and weaknesses have also been identified. One of these is the difficulty associated with a user-centered design, involving older adults with impaired cognitive and sensory abilities in nursing homes. In order to overcome this challenge, a project was carried out to develop a soft and compact bedside communication robot with an input/output device, connected to existing technologies (e.g. monitoring camera, biological sensor). Drawing on the principle of gemba (deference to frontline professionals’ experience, expertise and skills), users’ feedback was reflected in the iterative steps of robot development. The original soft and communicative robot was introduced and its effectiveness was tested by measuring older people’s reactions and changes in their behaviors and engagement levels. The article reports the development process and results of a small-scale evaluation study, comparing the impact of this original soft-type robot with and without its communicative functions. The human–robot interactions were captured on video, and the analysis revealed that while communicative robots reduced the psychosocial burden on older adults, positive emotional, verbal, visual and behavioral engagement was generated with the help of the non-verbal plush toy.
