Abstract
We report the development of a system that allows parents to remotely participate in the day-care activities of their pre-school children and share notes with the childrens' nurse. In this system, "Action Switch platform (AcSP)" links the PaPeRo (Partner-type Personal Robot) to the cellular phone of the parent. PaPeRo is driven by the content of the parent's e-mails. A Blog-based system that uses live pictures of the children (these data are captured by PaPeRo'camera and stored in AcSP) is used to realize intelligence sharing. We implemented this system in two pre-schools as a trial; 12 families participated. Data was collected by interviewing the families and the nurses. We report their comments, recommendations, and our conclusions.
