Purpose Dialogue systems for older adults become more important because some of the older adults living alone have fewer chances to do that because they are alone; because of the COVID-19 situation, they have decreased the opportunity of conversation in the world.However, for academic studies, dialogue systems have been evaluated at laboratories.This is because the experimental conditions can be standardized.Moreover, on-site support is easier for the experimental staff than home-based experiments because some older adults are not familiar with ICT technologies such as tablets, robots, etc.Some researchers tackle developing a dialogue system specializing for older adults by Inoue et al. (2020); however, there is no information on what kind of robot interaction is effective for the cognitive function to the best of the authors' knowledge of the elderly.Hence home-based dialogue system experiments have become much more References
