Community-Centric System – Support of Human Ties –

Abstract

[abstFig src='/00290001/01.jpg' width='300' text='Social robots for community-centric systems' ] Motivated toward the revitalization of local communities, we have started an aggressive study on community support systems. In particular, we have studied a “community-centric system,” in which individual persons are tied to each other in a natural manner. In this paper, based on this community-centric concept, we introduce different robot operating interfaces, dialogue robots, and a telepresence system for generating human ties.
