Abstract(in English) It is important for dementia-care to communicate with patients. However, care staffs cannot have an enough time to communicate with them. There is one of the care methods for dementia person called "Humanitude". The purpose of this study is a development of a communication robot using a "Humanitude" method for dementia patients. This robot will be able to reduce the care staffs' behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia and mental fatigue. We developed the "conversation" function, which is the basis of communication, and carried out the dialogue experiment with dementia patients using the robot. As a result, we could not get an effective evaluation about burden reduction. However, we could get a good evaluation about "Humanitude" under some certain circumstances. Therefore, it was suggested the potentialities of "Humanitude" using the communication robot.
