Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) This report proposes a parametric speaker robot that can perform the interactive training of activities in daily life (ADL) for the visually impaired. The robot has a pan-tilt head equipped with a parametric speaker and a camera. Over the network, a trainer can see a trainee's environment, control the pan-tilt head and communicate with the trainee. The trainer's voice is outputed from the parametric speaker, and then reflected on the surface of an object. The trainee can hear the reflected voice as if it is generated by the object. In this report, we improve the software of the robot so that the robot stores trainer's voices and pan-tilt head control signals. By inputting the stored data to the robot, it can act without any a trainee's control, and the trainee can perform the ADL training by himself or herself.
