Abstract :
The coexistence of people and robots has been gaining much attention in recent years. However, not many robots can cope in various environments. In our previous study, we focused on the robot´s role as an embodied physical medium and proposed a dress-up personal robot, kiroPi, to support embodied interaction in daily life. In this study, we develop a prototype of kiroPi, mobileware, and waterproof-ware that can adapt to a variety of conditions, such as life-logging and sports management.
