Home Robot for fall detection

To capitalize on the potential of telepresence robots, while addressing their lack of sensing capability suitable for home health monitoring, we recently proposed to combine home robots and wireless sensor networks. Wireless sensor networks comprise of networks of wearable sensors (ie body sensor networks) and networks of ambient sensors. Data gathered using wireless sensor network would provide the means to detect the occurrence of a medical emergency. An alert generated by the wireless sensor network can be relayed to the home robot, which can then respond to the alert by using its autonomous capabilities (eg processing of images, elaboration of sensors data) to assess the subject’s condition and send an alarm message to a remotely located caregiver if necessary. The caregiver would be able to navigate the home environment using the robot and set in place the process needed to properly respond to the medical emergency. Here is the first prototype of our home robot platform.
