LISA
LISA 1-3, BaltSe@nior, REACH
Living Independently in Südtirol/Alto Adige
Problem
New solutions in this area often lack/fail because of acceptance issues and poor cosnideration of human factors.
Goal
User centred and integrated technology solutions.
Abstract
In LISA, the implementation of a novel robotic service wall supporting those ADLs was the main objective. The proposed system followed a modular approach, whereas all system elements provide “plug and play” characteristics. Such an approach enables an efficient system, which can be arranged and re-arranged into various configurations, and can be easily installed in any residence without requiring specific space dimensions. Through LISA’s mechatronic service wall, an ambient intelligence environment (Ami) can be created within a house or flat. A variety of services can be addressed by the proposed system, contributing to a higher level of quality in ADLs. That means also a higher degree of safety as the system can contact emergency services. After an early design phase two 1 :1 prototypes were evaluated using an Age Simulation Suite. Finally, the mechatronic service wall was installed for three months in a real house and evaluated by potential users.
