INNOROBO: On Wednesday 14th of march, Dr. Takanori Shibata will talk about Life Innovation with Therapeutic Robot, PARO

Robot therapy, which uses robots as a substitution for animals in “animal therapy,” is a new robot application in the fields of welfare and patient care. The seal robot PARO has been developed for robot therapy since 1993. While PARO can be used in various kinds of therapy similar to real animals, this presentation focuses on its use with elderly dementia patients because explicit differences can be easily observed before and after interacting with PARO.

Dr Shibata’s speech will take place on wednesday afternoon, during the Human Robot Interactions conference cycle.
