Entertainment services of a healthcare robot system for older people in private and public spaces

In this paper, we analyze the use of entertainment services on our healthcare robot system, and find 1) how long robots were used, 2) which entertainment service was most used, 3) which music video category was most preferred, and 4) which music video was most preferred. We developed a healthcare robot system, HealthBot, and deployed several of them in an older care facility, and obtained the usage histories of three kinds of entertainment services: music videos, quotes, and pictures. We report results about the preferences of participants in private and public spaces.
