This project opens new frontiers in assistive services, allowing the professional caregivers to focus their efforts in actual value based assistance while the robots support in more routine tasks.
IRI researchers Visit Suara
On March 3rd, a group of IRI researchers visited SUARA premises to continue the working session initiated at IRI. This interdisciplinary working session tried to narrow down the details of the tasks selected in the first session, like getting objects from the ground and handling them (e.g. glasses, keys, etc) or providing reminders. Special attention was given to the three fundamental research pillars that sustain the project, trying to find out all the dialogue topics related to the tasks, identifying the situations that would require explainability and portraying the personalization features of the specific tasks to make them comfortable for the elderly.
