Abstract(in English)	In this paper, we first state the definition of daily life-support robots. "Safety" and "familiarity" are important requirements for these robots. Next, we describe development of an intelligent care robot IRIS. This robot understands a patient's orders through spoken dialogue and performs several tasks, such as bringing a bottle of water etc. in real environment. However, IRIS had problems with increasing familiarity. To improve IRIS's familiarity, we developed a robot avatar CHIRIS. Using a robot avatar makes it possible to separate functions for achieving tasks from functions for making communication with users. Finally, we describe development of a life-support robot Goyane.
