title = "Development of a Risk Assessment Assistance Tool for Robotic Care Devices",
abstract = "Aiming to eliminate a labor shortage caused by the aging of society, many kinds of service robots are under development. Nursing care for the elderly is considered as a typical application of service robots, especially in Japan. Elderly care robots or robotic care device must be designed with safety, but not a few manufacturers are inexperienced in designing and manufacturing them on the basis of safety. In this paper, we introduce a risk assessment assistance tool for robotic care device targeted for inexperienced manufacturers of risk assessment.",
