To enable elderly people to live at home as long as possible, a group of researchers will link robots and ’smart homes’. The robot, a ’sensible family friend’, will ensure that home is a nice place to stay. And that patients do the right things. The project focuses in particular on COPD patients, people with [...]
Getting robotic systems to accurately detect both moving and static objects remains an obstacle to building more autonomous robots and more advanced surveillance systems. Innovative technology that uses light beams for localization and mapping may offer a solution.

A new 3D sensor will enable robots to observe their environment in a more natural and human-like manner. The TACO project will make it possible to apply current robots in more sophisticated markets so that they will play a major role in the fields of cleaning, construction, maintenance, security, health care, entertainment and personal assistance [...]
