Research Abstract

The aim of this study is to achieve a diagnosis training system which can offer high repeatability and realistic situation of diagnosis,where an android robot is utilized as a psychiatric patient instead of a human standardized-patient. In this system, the robot mimics the behavior and utterance of patient of unipolar depression. Its repeatability and educational effect were evaluatedthrough experiments.
