A study on an animal shaped robot that has an animal-assisted therapy effect on early treatment for children with developmental disorders and has no dangerous elements of infection or allergy, like a real animal, has been started since the late 90s. A cat is selected as the object animal of the robot for early treatment of children with developmental disorders, according to the result of their preference research. For making the cat robot more efficient on the therapeutic value, personification must be applied. Personification which reflects the image of an animal or a man on the shape of a robot, makes a man accept a robot as more familiar, and makes it easier to convey a character of a robot to a man through the outward appearance or movements. Therefore, the personification method of a cat robot is researched through prior theses and literatures. Through the results of the study, basic emotions of the cat robot were selected 4 emotions: surprise, anger, sorrow, and happiness. To the design of the cat robot, standards are established and applied to personification, such as outward appearance, facial expressions, emotional expressions and movements.
