| Research Abstract |
This research deals with developing Kukanchi-robot system to realize functional media for activating users’ mind and body. In response to an aging society, intelligent robot is expected to apply for supporting elderly or handicapped people. However, traditional support system or robot were not considering differences of each users’ health condition or environment. These systems are in danger of decaying user’s bodily or cognitive function. Therefore we studied intelligent functional space which is developed based on cognitive process to activate human mind and body. The research of intelligent functional space design is divided 3 groups: a) Ontology for cognitive process, b) Collection of life log, c) Enhancement of sensing technic. Firstly, we developed and enhanced the system which estimates activity of daily life by using non-binding sensor (ZigBee acceleration sensor and camera devices). The system recognize “When”, “Where”, “Who”, “What does he/she doing”, and estimate conditions (“walking”, “running”, “standing”, “lying”), 12 activities which is selected from Activity of Daily Living (ADL) (“Face washing”, “Tooth Brushing”), and dangerous motion (“falling down”). Secondly, these estimated activities stored in the database as life logs. The system constructed user-models from the database. Finally, we developed applications, elderly user support robot system, visualization service of life log by smartphone, and standing up support by intelligent while chair robot, by using the user model.
