Currently in home environments, robot assisting systems with emotion understanding ability are generally achieved in two several manners. The first is the implementing of such systems in such a way that they offer general services for all considered persons without considering privacy, special needs of their interaction partners. The second way is the targetting of such systems for merely one person. In this work we present a robot assisting system, which has both the abilities of assisting several persons at the same time and sustaining their privacy and security issues. The robot can interact with it's interaction partner emotionally by analyzing the emotions of her expressed either visually, facial expression, or auditive, speech prosody. The role of this system is the providing of person-specific support in home environment. In order to identify its interaction partner the system uses diverse biometric traits. According to the recognized ID the system, first, adopts towards the needs of recognized person. Second the system loads the corresponding emotional profile of the detected interaction partner in order to practice a person-specific emotional human-robot interaction, which has an advantage over the person independent interaction.
With a rapidly ageing population, it is increasingly important to de-
velop devices for elderly and disabled people that can support and aid
them in their daily lives, helping them to live at home as long as pos-
sible. The goal of this project is to implement a human-machine inter-
action and assistance system that can offer personalised health sup-
port for elderly people, or for those who have special needs in the
home environment.
As smart homes are being more and more popular, the needs of finding assisting systems which interface between users and home environments are growing. Furthermore, for elderly and disabled people living in such homes it is totally important to develop devices, which can support and aid them in their ordinary daily life. This demands means and tools that extend independent living and promote improved health. In this work we reviewed the state of the art in the assistant systems in home environments. A case study of medical assisting system for elderly and people with disabilities is discussed deeply. A smart nfc-based person-specific assistant system for services in home environment is proposed. The role of this system is the assisting by controlling of home activities and adaption of home-human interface towards the needs of the considered person. For the special case of medical assisting the system has the ability of providing for elderly or disabled people person-specific medical assistance. The system has the ability of identifying its interaction partner using some biometric features. According to the recognized ID the system, first, adopts towards the needs of recognized person. Second the system represents person-specific list of medicaments either visually, on screen, or acoustic, speaker. And third the system gives an alarm in the case of taking medicament either later or earlier as normal taking time.
