This book describes a unique approach to bring robotic technology into elders’ daily lives. Low cost components and low cost robotic assistants are effectively combined to offer high quality services to elders and people in need. The book presents in a comprehensive way how technology can be used for developing a new healthcare paradigm where high quality services are offered at home, thus reducing the ever-increasing hospitalization cost of the elders and the people with chronic diseases.
In RADIO Project, we developed an integrated smart home /assistant robot system, pursuing a novel approach to acceptance and unobtrusiveness: a system where sensing equipment is not discrete but an obvious and accepted part of the user’s daily life. By using the integrated smart home /assistant robot system as the sensing equipment for health monitoring , we mask the functionality of the sensors rather than the sensors themselves. In this manner, sensors do not need to be discrete and distant or masked and cumbersome to instal; they do however need to be perceived as a natural component of the smart home /assistant robot functionalities.
