Abstract(in English) This research aims to reduce the progress of dementia and caregiver’s burden by “Weak Robot”. “Weak Robot” invites “Poor!” and “I want to give help!” and stimulates procedure memory and emotional memory thereby we expect dementia patient to act voluntarily. Furthermore, acting voluntarily activate their body and reduce physical and mental burden on caregivers.
