Abstract :
A health care system using a face robot is proposed. The proposed robot system is composed of a face robot with a personal computer, and can teach the time when a patient has to take medicines for example. Patient´s health care data can be also stored in the personal computer, and the robot system can make many reactions depending on the stored data. The robot system can communicate with a patient using robot face expressions, a voice communication system, and a personal computer display
