Project: GUARDIAN
| Acronym | GUARDIAN (Reference Number: aal-2019-6-120-CP) |
| Project Topic | With a decreasing workforce of care professionals and to support an active and positive working life of informal carers, there is a need for assistive technologies at home. The GUARDIAN project introduces a social companion, which aims to be of direct benefit for three groups of end-users. The Guardian robot will be more widely deployable and a lot more advanced than existing models. For example, it contains sensors that can create an accurate image of the house like a radar. In this way the informal carer knows from a distance where his family member has fallen, and will be able to direct the robot to the location and establish a speech-image connection via the robot. The GUARDIAN project follows from the start a unique iterative design, research and development methodology with 3 streams, focusing on: 1. Co-creation & Personalization; 2. Ethical and value-sensitive design; 3. Business Modeling & Cost-effectiveness. |
