Abstract
We have been developing a robot called Fetusoid35 that resembles a human fetus or preterm infant. We suppose that the robot could contribute to developmental science by shedding a new insight on the understanding the developmental process of fetuses and preterm infants. Based on the mechanism, we would expect to improve a developmental care of preterm infants. This extended abstract briefly introduces the design policy of Fetusoid35 with its specifications and the current status.
