SocialRobot: Towards a Personalized Elderly Care Mobile Robot
This addresses personalized care for elderly individuals, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing robotic and social care technologies.
The paper tackles the problem of improving elderly quality of life by developing SocialRobot, a mobile robot integrated with virtual social care technology, resulting in a state-of-the-art platform tested in interactive scenarios.
SocialRobot is a collaborative European project, which focuses on providing a practical and interactive solution to improve the quality of life of elderly people. Having this in mind, a state of the art robotic mobile platform has been integrated with virtual social care technology to meet the elderly individual needs and requirements, following a human centered approach. In this short paper, we make an overview of SocialRobot, the developed architecture and the human-robot interactive scenarios being prepared and tested in the framework of the project for dissemination and exploitation purposes.
