Abstract

All robot ideas

Our brainstorm ideas:
- (Using datasets from Eindhoven for) IoT actuation throughout the city.
- Mobile Cloud Robotics as a service with OCCIware
- Robots to help elderly and physically impaired people with daily tasks
- Learning with augmented reality glasses / AI mentor
- Consumer dental x-ray scanner device (+service), from home
- wearable for elderly people to quickly arrange quick responders in case of falling

Problem description

This subject of this project is supporting elderly people living their live independently by assisting them with a wearable AI device. The great strides in the rise in longevity of people, have resulted in an ageing populations in most developed economies. This developed creates new challenges, for the individual as well as society. Many individuals want to live as independently as possible, but their physical and/or mental impairments make that more difficult. It is also difficult for their loved ones, since dangerous situations arise. For both individuals, their families as society as a whole, the associated increase in healthcare costs is a challenge. One of the big problems for all involved is falling. Elderly people are more likely to fall for biological reasons, and their falls can cause bigger damage as well. Additionally, for elderly people it is more risky to undergo surgery, and recovery (such as learning to walk again) is more difficult - for more feeble individuals surgery is not even possible, resulting in a big permanent disability and pain. With more elderly people living on their own, instead of in retirement homes, there is a bigger risk of people lying helplessly on the floor for hours or longer. This is a horrible experience, and it can increase injuries, and even result in death in extreme cases.

This project started with the idea to support these elderly individuals, as well as their families and hence society as a whole, by developing a wearable device to detect falling, and notify people about it. This is a solution in the core of robotics: it combines a device with various mechanical aspects, interaction with the environment, and autonomous behavior. The initial objective idea has been measuring when they fall, and arranging help.

Subsequently, a wider range of problems our elderly users face has been identified and incorporated into the objectives for the proposed device:
- automatic fall detection, and (after checking) arrange for help
- heart-attack detection
- GPS-tracking to prevent wandering, guide the person back, or arrange help if needed
- voice-control and interaction, specifically for elderly people (training, habituation, etc.)
- medicine planning/reminders, possibly combined with a smart-dispenser
- ...

Notes:

Good subject:
Is in the core of robotics
USE aspects are leading
Can involve study, analysis, design, prototype etc.

USE aspects

Users

When looking at which users are to be considered it could be established that, users who seek support with independent living, for example elderly or users with physical or mental impairments, are the primary users.

Society

Independent living is important on this day. The world's older people population is growing at a high speed. So the costs to take care of these elderly people increases also. The nursery homes cannot cope with the speed of the increasing population. resulting in letting elderly people who cannot live independent anymore, live independent.
