PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a useful hearing system and a robot for use in the hearing system.SOLUTION: A hearing system includes a cartilage conduction part 413 for conducting vibration to an ear cartilage of a person and an accessory 461 worn by a person and covering at least a part of the ear cartilage, and indirectly conducts vibration of the cartilage conduction part via the accessory to the ear cartilage. The cartilage conduction part can be shared by multiple persons and the accessory is individually worn by the multiple persons. The accessory includes an information holding part for holding information for specifying a wearer and, in a state where the cartilage conduction part can conduct vibration to the ear cartilage, the hearing system reads the holding information. When a person guides the cartilage conduction part to an ear cartilage, the hearing system supports the cartilage conduction part so as not to resist thereto. When vibration is conducted to an ear on one side, a finger of a robot is made to follow the movement of the head of a person. The cartilage conduction part is provided on a first finger of the robot and the head part of the person is supported by a second finger of the robot.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 20COPYRIGHT: (C)2018,JPO&INPIT【課題】有用な聴取システムおよび聴取システムに用いられるロボットを提供する。【解決手段】人の耳軟骨に振動を伝達するための軟骨伝導部４１３と、人が装着し少なくとも耳軟骨の一部を覆う装身具４６１とを有し、装身具を介して間接的に軟骨伝導部の振動を耳軟骨に伝達する。軟骨伝導部は多数の人に共用されるとともに、装身具は多数の人に個別に装着される。装着者を特定するための情報を保持する情報保持部を前記装身具に設けるとともに、軟骨伝導部が振動を前記耳軟骨に伝達できる状態において保持情報を読取る。人が軟骨伝導部を耳軟骨に導く際、それに抗さないよう軟骨伝導部を支持する。片側の耳に振動を伝達するとき人の頭の動きに対しロボットの指を追従させる。ロボットの第一の指に設軟骨伝導部を設け、ロボットの第二の指にて人の頭部を支える。【選択図】図２０
