Project Details


WSIS Prizes Contest 2019 Nominee

ALIAS: The Adaptable Ambient Living Assistant


Description

The project work resulted in two possible
products, depending on the configuration
of the robotic system. First, an
assistive robot for home environments,
that provides support in emergency
situations and for staying in contact
with relatives and friends. Second, an
autonomous guiding assistive robot for
nursing homes, providing medication
reminders, entertainment, cognitive
training, and telepresence applications.
The ALIAS project has included all three
main categories of end-users during
the development process of the robot
platform in order to get input about the
needs and wishes of the focused target
groups and receiving feedback on the
progress of the robot platform. In total,
160 end-users have taken part in the
project.
The project has strongly taken into account
the heterogeneity and diversity
of the end-users and potential future
customers of ALIAS
