Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Hearing dogs play a role of assisting hearing-impaired people. The touch of the dog to the people can alert the people to important life sounds, such as doorbells and fire alarms. Hearing dogs are useful to assist the people, but the working number of the dogs are insufficient all over the world. Our study proposed a hearing-dog robot which is expected as an alternative assistant. In this paper we proposed and constructed a behavior model for the hearing-dog robot. We conducted an experiment to evaluate the proposed model. In the experiment the robot actually could act according to the behavior model, but in some cases the robot failed to touch the target user. We discussed the causes the robot failed and the improvements to solve them.
