A new health care system using a simplified robot face has been developed. Patient's health care data can be stored in a personal computer and a robotic system can take many actions depending on the stored data. It can tell a patient what time to take his/her medication and warn them if they fail to take their medication at the appropriate time. The robotic system can communicate with a patient using facial expressions, a voice communication system and a personal computer monitor. The robot face was designed using simple mechanisms in order to achieve a low cost system. In this paper, the experiments on human facial expressions are conducted in order to improve our simplified robot face used for a health care system, and the simple robot face is fabricated regarding the experimental results.
