Abstract
In the project “Knowledgeable SErvice Robots for Aging” (KSERA) an AAL system with a socially assistive robot (SAR) for old persons and persons with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) has been developed. One of the elements of the system is a LED-projector module carried by the small humanoid NAO robot. This module is used as additional output element to extend the human–machine-interface by projecting text, graphics and videos on walls next to the user. As relevant use case, focus is on mobile video communication with family members, friends and also with service centres and medical authorities. Laboratory tests with the prototype by end users and a workshop with experts from the care domain were done. Results show the relevance of this solution for AAL applications, in particular for social communication and in emergency cases.KeywordsAALSocially assistive robotsAssistive technologyCOPDMobile user interfacePico projector
