Abstract
This paper presents an elder care robot system for older people. An elder care robot system provides human-robot interaction application and monitoring service. The study was carried out for five weeks in nursing homes, with the participation of 17 residents. We have conducted a t-test to compare the difference between satisfaction and usability evaluation for the residents and the staff.
