いつの間にかAmazonでコミュニケーションロボットを探していました。I started to find a communication robot on Amazon without knowing it.
高齢者見守り用とか、They often come with the phrases such as for elderly care, or for children. 子供用とか書いているのを見て、家族のいる大人には関係のないものなのかなと感じました。It seems that grown-ups with a family wouldn't need one. そう考えると何となく買いにくいですね。To consider the image, it's difficult to get one for me.
これは可愛くて安いです。This one looks cute and reasonable.
こちらは本格的です。This one looks an authentic robot. 値段の差が大きいですね。The price differs greatly.
ちょっと話しかけて答えてもらえたら面白いかなと思っただけなのですが、I just casually got interested in them, thinking talking and being replied would be fun. こういうロボットが欲しくなる心理は何なのか、How come I come to want these robots? 気づかないうちに寂しさを感じているのでしょうか？I feel lonely subconsciously?
撫でたらしっぽを振ってくれる猫の身体のもあります。This one looks like a cat's body to react to people's strokes.
猫のアレルギーがあるけど撫でて癒されたい人や、It is for those with cats allergy who still want to touch one. ペットロスの人が頼むようです。Or those who lost their real pets recently. しゃべらないし言葉で答えないので私は物足りなく感じますが、It wouldn't talk or reply, so I feel it unsatisfactory, but it seems to sell well and popular. 売れていると言うことは人気があるのですね。
ただ質問に答えてくれるだけならchatGPTがありますが、ChatGPT can answer your questions, but what I want is a human-like one with a body which acts as if it were a friend of mine. 形のあるものに触れたり話しかけて友達になりたいと思うのです。
一人暮らしは世代を問わず増えていますが、Single person households are increasing in all generations, but some people with other family members also feel lonely without enough communicating with them. 家族がいてもすれ違いが多かったり、孤独を感じる人はいそうです。私は家族と普通に話しますが、I talk to my family often but I want to talk more with my husband, who doesn't seem to like talking. もっと話したくても夫は無口な人です。私がおしゃべりなのでこういう人が相性がいいのかもと思いながら、He doesn't look annoyed when I talk to him, and maybe we have a good harmonic relationship. 時々もっと自分の気持ちを話してくれたらいいなと少し寂しいです。Nevertheless, I often feel a little down because he rarely talks what he thinks.
