■ 'RAN with' Model House
The 'RAN with' model house, which will be opened this time, will also be utilized as a demonstration research site for joint research through industry-academia-government collaboration. It will continuously verify movements and psychological changes in daily life from the perspectives of architecture, welfare, and robotics. Through this, the aim is to clarify the ideal form of housing in a super-aging society in a more realistic and practical way.
■ GX-Oriented Housing
Based on the 'ease of living completed on one floor' cultivated by the single-story house brand 'RAN,' the custom-designed 'RAN with' enables housing construction that accommodates more diverse lifestyles and future changes. 'RAN with' is a single-story house that incorporates flexibility to respond to physical changes and changes in living patterns, as well as ideas to enhance the 'quality of life' as one ages.
Furthermore, as GX-oriented housing that balances comfort and future potential while suppressing energy consumption, it is possible to choose specifications that further enhance insulation and airtightness, such as spray foam insulation that completely envelops the entire building and triple-glazed windows that are less affected by outside air.
■ Proposing 'Future Living' with the Exhibition of the Transfer Support Robot 'Hug' (*)
Unlike conventional model houses, 'RAN with' adopts an exhibition structure that encourages visitors to proactively consider their future lives.
A symbol of this is the exhibition of the transfer support robot 'Hug' (*) (hereinafter, 'care robot'), which aims to reduce the burden on caregivers and improve comfort at home.
By allowing visitors to experience its actual operation, the exhibition provides an understanding of the challenges in home care and the potential of robot technology from the perspective of residents.
In the model house, visitor surveys are also conducted to collect and analyze opinions obtained through the exhibition. The feedback received will be reflected in future home building and research themes, leading to proposals for housing that are more aligned with actual conditions.

Through these initiatives, this model house, in addition to being a general single-story model house, also plays the role of a joint research base where industry, academia, and government collaborate to conduct demonstration research in the care and welfare fields. By continuing demonstration research to verify the use of care robots in living spaces and research on future care challenges, the concept of 'RAN with' as a 'house where one can live longer' and a 'house that anticipates future care' will be deepened from both data obtained from demonstration research and the voices of residents.
