OBJECTIVE
An entertainment robot was used as occupational therapy instead of animal-assisted therapy to avoid any danger or injury to the patient and maintain cleanliness. This study compared the effectiveness of a robot animal, AIBO, with a toy.
METHOD
AIBO is made of metal and responds to spoken commands. We demonstrated AIBO to severely demented elderly people living in a geriatric home and observed their reactions.
RESULTS
The most frequent reactions to AIBO consisted of looking at, communicating with, and caring for AIBO. The patients recognized that AIBO was a robot. However, once we dressed AIBO, the patients perceived AIBO as either a dog or a baby. Nevertheless, the presentation of AIBO resulted in positive outcomes for the severe dementia patients, including increased communication between the patients and AIBO.
CONCLUSION
AIBO was clearly an effective rehabilitation tool in the treatment of severely demented patients.
目的
使用娱乐机器人代替动物辅助疗法进行职业治疗，以避免对患者造成任何危险或伤害，并保持清洁。本研究比较了机器人宠物爱宝（AIBO）与玩具的效果。
方法
爱宝由金属制成，能对语音指令做出反应。我们向住在养老院的重度痴呆老年人展示了爱宝，并观察他们的反应。
结果
对爱宝最常见的反应包括注视、与之交流和照顾爱宝。患者认识到爱宝是一个机器人。然而，一旦我们给爱宝穿上衣服，患者就会将其视为狗或婴儿。尽管如此，爱宝的展示给重度痴呆患者带来了积极的结果，包括患者与爱宝之间交流的增加。
结论
爱宝显然是治疗重度痴呆患者的一种有效康复工具。
