摘要:
To address the needs of a super-aged society, the development of care robots
requires engaging in experiential communication with users on both physiological and
psychological levels to create service systems that effectively solve related challenges.
This approach leads to a demand-integrated R&D network. This study explores the
demand for care robots in Taiwan and identifies gaps in the development of R&D
networks. It also examines Japan’s experience in promoting care robot technology and
proposes strategic recommendations that could assist Taiwan’s development. The study
yields three main implications. The first is to form a demand-integrated business
ecosystem centered on the concept of clinical co-creation. The second is to establish a
platform for integrating the needs of care robot technology to fill the gaps in the core
technologies and service verification. The third is to pursue the acceleration of crossministerial connections between R&D and demand-side policies.
