Welcome to Childcare Robot. While there is not much in the world as far as childcare by robots, this will change over the next 5 to 10 years. One current offering is PaPeRo (see picture).
PaPeRo has been researched and developed with the intention of its being a partner with human beings and its being able to live together with them. For this reason, it has various basic functions for the purpose of interacting with people.

Since the original introduction of PaPeRo, there have been a few different versions, including a Childcare Version, 2003 and 2005 revised versions.
In order for PaPeRo to interact with people and perform autonomous actions, the robot itself must understand information on the conditions of and outside the location where it has been put. For this reason, various pieces of equipment have been included to detect the outside area, such as a CCD camera, microphone, ultrasonic sensors, etc.
In the spring of 2009 NEC introduced PaPeRo Mini, weighing half of the current PaPeRo model, and has physical dimensions roughly half the size of the original. The PaPeRo Mini has several enhanced capabilities, and has a small LCD monitor on the font of its chest.
