We developed the robot Babyloid for the purpose that psychological distresses in elderly people and the people requiring a nursing care are decreased by taking care of Babyloid. Babyloid is not all-arounder and cannot do anything, except expressions of physiological and psychological states for the self-sufficiency such as whimpering, becoming grumpy and so on. Through interaction with expressions of self-sufficiency, we considered that mental condition of elderly people is improved by building up trusting relationships between the people and Babyloid. In this paper, we explain concept, design, and specifics of Babyloid.
