This paper describes desirable properties that the companion robots should have for the application to robot assisted activity / robot assisted therapy (RAA/RAT) from the standpoint of robotics. Although animal assisted activity / robot assisted therapy (AAA/AAT) give us much better effectiveness in the hospital and old-peoples nursing home for the present time, these institutes have been looking forward to RAA/RAT because of difficulties in AAA/AAT in handling of living animals and prevention of epidemics. From the fieldwork in pediatrics ward and the nursing home using the robots on-the-market that can be partly brought up, we extracted what kind of function is effective in communication between patient-robot, patient-nurse, and patient-patient. This paper also mentions how to actualize such function by software modeling and programming.

A remote controlled robot as well as autonomous one was used for robot assisted activity (RAA) and robot assisted therapy (RAT) in the special nursing home for aged persons and the rehabilitation ward in the hospital. It was shown from the fieldwork at these working sites that RAA and RAT using remote controlled robot are effective especially in a rehabilitation program. The robot operator can control the robot as if the robot understands patient mind and can stimulate the patient through the robot. The effect of RAA and RAT was evaluated several method such as GSR measurement, patients hand position and eye-contact analysis during practice and blood pressure measurement at before and after the practice. The results show remote control technique helps rehabilitation program although statistical data accumulation is still necessary. One of the problems preventing RAA and RAT from popularization is that we need the robot operator in addition to the therapist. We developed simple and handy operation console that can be handled by therapist during practice
