房屋自2005年6月开始进行。两个治疗密封机器人被引入，每天被激活9个多小时，与居民互动。本文给出了该实验的进展报告。为了调查机器人的心理和社会影响，采用自由堆排序法对每个受试者进行了访谈，并分析了他们的社会互动。此外，他们尿液中的激素：17-酮类固醇硫酸盐（17- ks - s）和17-羟基皮质类固醇（17- ohcs）进行了测定和分析。结果显示，在两个月的时间里，机器人鼓励他们彼此交流，然后加强了他们的社会联系。此外，尿液测试表明，引入机器人后，受试者的重要器官对压力的反应有所改善。
house has been conducted since June 2005. Two therapeutic seal robots were introduced and activated for over 9 hours every day to interact with the residents. This paper presents a progress report of this experiment. In order to investigate the psychological and social effects of the robots, each subject was interviewed by using the free pile sort method, and their social interaction was analysed. In addition, their hormones in urine: 17-Ketosteroid sulfate (17-KS-S) and 17 – hydroxycorticosteroids (17-OHCS) were obtained and analysed. The results showed that the robots encouraged them to communicate with each other and then strengthened their social ties over the two months. Furthermore, urine tests showed that the reactions of the subjects' vital organs to stress were improved after the introduction of the robots.
