老年失智症並非正常的老化現象而是一種疾病，主要會造成腦部功能退化，使記憶力、判斷力、語言能力、抽象思考力及推理能力降低，進而影響到工作及生活自我照顧能力，對於整個國家與社會帶來了沉重的醫療負擔。從醫療保健觀點來看，除了飲食正常且足夠營養外，從事有益心智的運動以及養成規律的運動習慣，都有助於預防老年失智症且可提早發現。同時，都市人在孤單的家中也時常無人陪伴，人們如果在心裡得不到溫暖，身心無法放鬆就會影響情緒和健康。針對此現代社會現象，本論文基於SOPC研製井智機器人，其具有擬人化的設計，除了可以陪伴人們玩井字遊戲打發時間，更可以陪伴老年人們動腦思考避免老年失智症纏身。整個井智機器人採用龍門式機構設計方式，設計了一XYZ三軸的機械平台，可以讓井智機器人在紙上繪製棋盤與X、O等符號，並透過網路攝影機將紙上的棋盤資訊回傳並做影像處理，讓井智機器人能夠得知棋盤上的資訊，並藉由遊戲人工智慧來與人對弈，同時，本論文也加入了聲音功能來增加整個遊戲的互動與可玩性。最後，經由實驗結果可以得知所提出的井智機器人可以成功地陪伴人們玩井字遊戲，達到娛樂和益智的效果。 Recently, population ageing phenomenon has become more serious and the population of dementia patients grows at the same time. Dementia could cause degeneration of brain memory, judgment, and language functions disability. From the view of medical insurance, doing useful mental exercise and developing habits can prevent dementia effectively. Meanwhile, some people live along without family’s company which will reduce brain stimulation that would increase the possibility of having dementia. To solve these problems, this thesis develops a Tic-Tac-Toe robot based on DE1_SOC approach. Not only it can accompany the human to play a Tic-Tac-Toe game but also it can stimulate the elderly to think. The developed Tic-Tac-Toe robot uses a three-axis mechanical design platform to draw Cross and Naught on the chessboard. Further, the information of the chessboard is obtained though a webcam. By using the game artificial intelligent, the robot can play Tic-Tac-Toe game with people. In addition a sound function is subjoined, to increase entertainment during the interaction game. Finally, the experiment results show that the proposed Tic-Tac-Toe robot via SOPC approach not only joys elderly but also stimulates the brain function.
