“…Currently, the popular care robots such as "support robot" helps people move [5] and "rehabilitation robot" that provides passive range-of-motion exercise [6] Introducing caring robots to identify nursing care situations in order to validate the best practice approach with the best predictable health care outcomes. In addition, because caring robots will play the role like a real nurse, the most important function, if the caring robot is developed, is for the robot to be able to recognize and carry out basic nurse functions as close to how caring human nurses do.…”

There are many different types of robots that are used in different fields to make our lives easier. Currently, a popular assistive robot used in health care includes the "support robot" that helps persons' mobility and the "rehabilitation robot" that facilitates the performance of range-of-motion exercises. A robot performs tasks with mechanical precision on its own, or with guidance. Many fundamental questions exist that challenges the development of assistive health care robots, such as (1) What is a caring robot? (2) Should caring robots be humanoids or not? (3) What necessary functions are required for these caring robots so that it can provide quality nursing care? (4) What level of intelligence should robots have so that it can function effectively as a responsive 'assistant' to patients? (5) What levels of decision making should the robot have to be a dependable partner solving patients' care problems? Based on nursing caring theories, the authors of this paper propose a set of necessary functions that a caring robot should have, so that these questions can be answered.A caring robot has functional features like that of a human nurse.Developing humanoid robots will enhance the necessary functions of a caring robot particularly in task for example, taking vital signs and delivery of meals and medications. The most important ability of the caring robot is to carry-out basic nursing care functions as expected by the patients. This paper aims to apply nursing caring theory as a framework for the patient human robot interaction.

This study aims to identify needs and challenges of care robot in nursing care setting through an extensive search of the literature. As the result shows, there exists a shortage of information about results of the introduction of care robots, the needs of recipients and care providers, and relevant ethical problems. To advance our research and to introduce care robots into setting, there are so many things to do; consider the application of natural language processing technology by collaborating with researchers in the robotics field, carry out an investigation, extract the needs, clarify ethical problems and seek solutions, conduct the on-site experiment study, and so on.
