Exercise support system applying human-robot communication for mobile home

This paper presents a research to promote neighborly relation for disaster prevention by utilizing mobile home (it is called “Mobipo”) in usual day. Because of the experiences from aftermath of earthquake and seismic sea wave (Tsunemi), the disaster prevention is always the important theme. However, although the topic of reducing damage is important, the support system for people to reconstruct their life also cannot be ignored. The authors focus on promoting neighborly relation in daily life for disaster prevention, which reduce the stress during reconstruction process. We use an exercise support system with human-robot communication as a motive for people to visit Mobipo. The system encourages people´s healthy life and helps people get back to normal life from disaster.
