Just before the consortium meeting of the EU FP7-ICT project ‘ACCOMPANY’ the Care-o-Bot robot was delivered to Hogeschool Zuyd. There a new set of user studied will be carried out and the cameras and sensors will be tested in an Ambient Assisted Living setting.
Living with robots
Kick-off Accompany project
The EU FP7 project ACCOMPANY has started! In this project we develop and test robotic systems for ‘re-enablement of elderly’: how can robots help a fragile elder to live independently. We will study novel ways of combining ambient sensors with robot sensors so that the robot system gets a more advanced awareness of the environment of the older user. We collaborate with University of Hertfordshire, Madopa, Fraunhofer Institute, Hogeschool Zuyd, University of Sienna and University of Birmingham
