Paro (robot) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Paro (robot)
Paro is a therapeutic robot baby harp seal, intended to be very cute and to have a calming effect on and elicit emotional responses in patients of hospitals and nursing homes, similar to animal-assisted therapy except using robots. ==History== Paro was designed by Takanori Shibata of the Intelligent System Research Institute of Japan's AIST beginning in 1993. It was first exhibited to the public in late 2001, costing US$15 million to develop, and became a "Best of COMDEX" finalist in 2003,〔(Meet Paro, the therapeutic robot seal ), CNN.com, 20 November 2003〕 and handmade versions have been sold commercially by Shibata's company Intelligent System Co. since 2004.〔 Paro is based on harp seals Shibata saw in an ice field in northeastern Canada, where he also recorded their cries in order to use them for Paro's simulated cries.〔(Robot baby seals to replace cats and dogs as pets in hospitals, nursing homes ), ''The Canadian Press'', January 11, 2009〕 Paro was classified as a Class 2 medical device by U.S. regulators in fall 2009.〔 Paro has been used primarily in care facilities, especially as a form of therapy for dementia patients.
