This paper proposes a concept of "Robotic Room" of the environment-type robot system for human service and describes the feasibility of novel functions by constructed three prototype robot systems taking account of the features of the environment-type robot system. The features are: 1) a spatial system; 2) a human-robot symbiosis system; and 3) a distributed system. Novel functions of the Robotic Room based on the research fields of a) Behavior Media and b) Behavior Contents and Behavior Adaptation is revealed by constructed prototype system of "Robotic Room 1 (Robotic Sick Room)," "Robotic Room 2 (Sensing Room)," and "Robotic Room 3," taking account of the stated features of the systems.
