LifeBots (2016)

Smart homes, when applied to elder people, can be considered as residential houses equipped with sensors and automated devices whose goal is to deliver care and monitoring of the people living in them. Such assistance must be defined in the long-term, and it must attempt to balance the immediate specific needs of the user with the long-term effects that the robots and assistance technologies can potentially have on the users developmental trajectory. The LifeBots project will investigate the use of lifelong technologies as a key resource to adapt to new goals, users preferences or environmental issues that require a tailoring of current assistive settings.
