Although animal-assisted activity is attracting attention as one of mental health measures, it has many problems in its implementation. We compared stress relief effects in short-term interaction of robot-assisted activity and stuffed animal-assisted activity, which are complementing activities for animal-assisted activity. We confirmed that psychological stress relief effects, especially reducing tension, depression, and confusion and improving vigor, obtained by robot-assisted activity are significantly higher than that obtained by stuffed animal-assisted activity. On the other hand, no significant difference could be confirmed in physiological stress relief effects. Although negative feelings of unsatisfactory due to lack of reactions decreased psychological stress relief effects, some kind of interaction caused by softness were suppressed decreasing physiological stress relief effects combination with physiological stress relief effects by contact with soft things. These are assumed to be factors that results of psychological and physiological evaluations are different.

Robot-assisted therapy has gained attention as one of mental health measures. In this paper, we investigated the influences of soft tactility on psychological and physiological stress relief effects to verify whether soft robots or hard robots are effective as therapy robots. Resultantly, we confirmed that psychological stress relief effects obtained by interaction with soft robots are significantly higher than that with hard robots, particularly reducing tension and depression, improving vigor. And we also verified that physiological stress relief effects, especially increasing alpha waves, obtained by interaction with soft robots are significantly higher, too. In addition, we found that soft tactility may have effects of inhibiting reduction users' motivation for interaction. These results suggest that soft robots are more effective as therapy robots.

近年,ロボットとのふれあいを通して精神的な癒しを与えるロボット・セラピーが注目を集めている.ロボット・セラピーに使用されるセラピーロボットは,簡易な音声反応をするものが多い.本稿では,そのようなロボットに対し同調傾向の考え方を導入し,コミュニケーション活性時に最も強く同調する基本周波数を直前のユーザの発話音声の基本周波数と同調させることによる心理的・生理的ストレス緩和作用への影響を,評価実験を通して検証した.その結果,応答音声の基本周波数をユーザの発話音声の基本周波数に同調させた方が,得られる疲労の緩和と活気の向上作用,α波の含有率増進作用が有意に高いことを確認した.逆に,応答音声の基本周波数をユーザの発話音声の基本周波数とは無関係にランダムに調整させた方が,混乱の緩和作用が有意に低いことを確認した.したがって,応答音声の基本周波数は,ランダムに調整するのではなく,発話音声の基本周波数に同調するよう調整した方が,心理的・生理的ストレス緩和作用を引き出すことができると言える.

Interest in pet robots and virtual pets is currently increasing along with the pet boom. Pet robots and virtual pets have been found to be therapeutic. However, what characteristics of pet robots and virtual pets are therapeutically effective have yet to be clarified. In this study, we carried out experiments to compare the therapeutic effects between pet robots and virtual pets in terms of physical embodiment from psychological and physiological aspects. Psychological evaluation results showed that the reduction in the tension score and increase in the vigor score with pet robots were significantly higher than those with virtual pets. Physiological evaluation results showed that the increase in the percentage of alpha waves with pet robots was significantly higher than that with virtual pets. These results suggest that physical interaction is an element for reducing mental strain and improving vitality.

As the issue of mental stress in severity, researchers have started to make efforts to give healing through the interaction with robots. Most of robots used in therapy developed for interacting in a state to be held. Therefore, the relative evaluation between the expected weight and the weight sense when holding the robot (hereinafter called “subjective sensory weight”) is likely to affect stress relief effects. In this paper, we examined influences of the subjective sensory weight for stress relief effects. According to the assimilation-contrast theory, in consideration of the adaptation-level varied with the users, we divided participants into the assimilation group and the contrast group and carried out the experiments. Psychological evaluation results showed that the reduction in the depression, the anger and the confusion score in the assimilation group were significantly higher than those in the contrast group. Physiological evaluation results showed that the increase in the percentage of alpha waves in the assimilation group was marginally significantly higher than that in the contrast group. These results suggest that it is necessary for improving stress relief effects by interacting robots to set the weight of the robot which was neither more nor less than users had expected.

Demands for interaction designs of therapy robots is projected to increase as the expansion of robot-assisted activity. In consideration of this situation, I compared the influence of users' personality traits on the impression of tolerant, rejective and emotional reaction robots to approach from users. As a result, I confirmed that extraversion and openness personality traits have significant influences on the extroversion and steady in the tolerant reaction robot, and the tolerance in the emotional reaction robot, respectively. I also confirmed that the rejective reaction robot creates significantly the narrow-minded than the others independently of users' personality traits. These results suggest that in designing interactions of therapy robots, it is better to design avoiding rejection reactions for any robot-assisted activity. In addition, it should be noted tolerant and negative reactions in designing interactions of therapy robots for robot-assisted activity expected to have many users who are high in extroversion and openness, respectively.

Considering that robot-assisted activities spread to ordinary homes, this study was conducted as a part of acquiring the information on the relationship between users' characteristics, reactions from a robot, and the effects of those reactions. I compared the influence of users' personality traits on psychological stress relief effects obtained by interacting with tolerant, rejective, and emotional reaction robots to approach from users. As a result, I confirmed that agreeableness and neuroticism personality traits have significant influences on relaxing the fatigue obtained by tolerant reactions from a robot and disarming the anger obtained by emotional reactions from a robot, respectively. I also confirmed that improving the vigor obtained by rejective reactions from a robot could not be expected independently of users' personality traits. These results suggest that it should avoid using the robot with a high ratio of rejective reactions in any robot-assisted activities. Besides, it is better to use the robot with a high ratio of tolerant reactions if a user with high agreeableness needs effects of relaxing the fatigue, and use the robot with a high ratio of emotional reactions if a user with high neuroticism needs effects of disarming the anger.

In recent years, the number of elderly people living alone has a tendency to increase due to the advancement of an aging society. Therefore, monitoring and support systems are necessary. In this paper, we developed the therapy robot having monitoring and support function under the consideration to make it not to be a surveillance system. And we evaluated whether it is a suitable size and weight for elderly people. As a result, the answer that size and weight are just right accounted for the majority.

運動療法は,施術直後より関節可動域を増大し,疼痛を早期に軽減させ病悩期間を短縮するものの,その効果について定量的な評価を行った研究は少ない。本研究では,術者が行う顎関節可動化療法と患者が行う自己牽引療法を1つの運動療法プログラムとして捉え,非復位性関節円板前方転位症例に実施した際の短期的治療効果を検討した。顎関節機能に中等度以上の障害が認められた45例を対象として運動療法を施行し,初診時とその約2週間後の初回再来時における臨床症状(最大開口域,安静時痛,開閉口時痛,咀嚼時痛および日常生活支障度)について評価した。その結果,最大開口域,開閉口時痛,咀嚼時痛および日常生活支障度において有意な改善を認めた(p<0.001)。これら症状の改善は,運動療法により関節可動域が改善され,関節腔が拡大されることで下顎頭の動きが改善したものと考える。したがって,本運動療法プログラムは,非復位性関節円板前方転位に伴う諸症状を短期間に軽減させる有効な保存療法になる可能性が示唆された。
