Cuurent IoRT Nursing
In recent years, many nursing care products have been developed using IoT technology. In particular, the development of nursing robots using IoRT (robotic IoT) technology has become active and commercialized.
Nursing care robots are classified into three types.
Type1. Nursing care support type ... Robots that
support nursing care services such as transfer, bathing,
excretion.
Type2. Independent support type ... robots that support
elderly who requires nursing care such as walking,
rehabilitation, eating, reading.
Type3. Communication / security type ... Robots that
heal and watches over the elderly.
Then, we will introduce three nursing robots . All of them are type3(Communication / security type)
◯Pepper
It is Pepper ,which now has come to be found in restaurants
and electronics stores in the cities. Although it is a
general-purpose robot whose use is not limited to nursing
care, it is expected to play a role as a nursing robot. In
fact, in "Sagami Robot Development Special Zone", a
demonstration experiment using Pepper as a nursing robot was
conducted.
We conducted demonstration experiments using pepper.

When connected to the service company's network (cloud), you can use recreational functions such as gymnastics, songs and quizzes through the TV screen.
We conducted a demonstration experiment that we had elderly people use this robot.
