In this contribution a novel system for the recognition of interaction with objects is presented. The developed system iActionlogger (interActionlogger) consists of radio modules that are used to recognize contact situations between a user and an object and is meant as a monitoring tool for users activities. Worldwide a great effort is done in developing technologies that allow elderly people to live...
Recently the problem of providing effective and appropriate healthcare to elderly and disable people is an important field in relative to the aging of population problems. The objective of information and communication technologies (ICT) is to focus on the new technologies the medical environments, so that it can provide management to accelerate and improve the clinical process. Our contribution is...
This paper presents techniques for system design and human-robot interaction of an active mobile robotic assistant for the elderly people in known, cluttered and dynamic indoor environments. The RFID-based intelligent space is proposed to automatically help users to attain desired services and prevent from possible accidents. A useful human-robot interactive system (HRI) is presented which includes...
This paper presents the preliminary results of a multi-disciplinary project aiming at studying technology supported life in a retirement home. The results of semi-structured interviews conducted with a group of 40 (semi-) autonomously living elderly persons are presented. In general they point in the direction of a “differential indication” of technologies in the sense of identifying personal solution...

This paper presents an automatic mapping method of an indoor mobile robot assistant for the elderly people. Mapping based on the minimalistic environmental model is accomplished automatically by using a laser scanner which works at 500 K baud rate, and a RFID which is adopted to initialize robot's initial posture in real time. Numerous simulations and experimental results are performed to illustrate...
This article presents a "wanderer monitoring system" application based on radiofrequency identification systems, whose objective is to monitor the movement of individuals with spatial disorientation problems. The system architecture and description is shown, as well as the results of the tasks carried out. The system has been installed in 18 elderly peoples' homes belonging to the Andalusian...
