Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) We proposed the robot which was inspired by the behavior of hearing dogs. A hearing dog is a type of dog assist hearing-impaired people by alerting their handler to important sounds by physical contact. The proposed robot also uses physical contact to notify urgent like a hearing dog’s touching behavior. We focused on urgent information like fire alarm, incoming call and so on, and considered how to design the touching behavior to notify them. Qur research question is “What kind of touching behavior would induce people to feel urgency?”. The experiment recruited hearing-impaired participants to evaluate effectiveness of the touching behavior. The results indicated that it was better for the touching period to be shorter. Furthermore, we investigated degree of how urgent people feel about several sound information. We discussed touching behavior design for urgent notification based on the results of the experiment and the investigation.
