SHARA3: Holistic Care System based on Affective and proactive Robots for Older Adults
This project aims, from an applied research perspective, to contribute to the improvement of the quality of life of older adults at home through assistants based on proactive and affective robotic platforms, and the study of their intervention for autonomous decision making, and by specialists, according to the needs of the user and their environment. This way we follow a holistic approach, where the assistance to older adults can be seen as a whole, and not as a union of isolated assistive functionalities.
SSITH: Self-recharging sensorized insoles for continuous and long-term monitoring of human gait
SSITH: Self-recharging sensorized insoles for continuous and long-term monitoring of human gait. The goal is to create a product for quantitative gait analysis (QGA). Human gait is a complex and cyclic pattern of simultaneous movements that requires the coordinated interaction of the main parts of the nervous, musculoskeletal and cardiorespiratory systems. Thus, human gait analysis is an essential functional diagnostic tool for the early detection and assessment of disorders and pathologies, although its use can be innovatively extended to other contexts, such as sports.
