Abstract
METI has launched a national 5-year-project called Humanoid Robotics Project (HRP) since 1998FY. Because humanoid robots have a human-like figure and are able to walk in a biped way and can take an action like a human being, we consider applying the humanoid robot platform in HRP to service fields of caring people such as the elderly, patients, etc. Taking the technical limitation of the current humanoid robot into account, we assume a situation where the robot serves such people. We consider the class of users: a nurse, a patient, and a person in a remote site. A communication agent embedded in the robot is introduced, which communicates with such class of users.
