Abstract

An expected surge of dementia patients in Japan indicates a pressing need to establish countermeasures. As described herein, by developing an educational program for elderly people using robots, we performed a demonstration experiment. Results revealed that involvement of elderly people with robots enhances their enjoyment, indicating a future direction of cognitive decline prevention education for elderly people.
