چکیده
The NTU-PAL1 and NTU-PAL2 robots for the elderly are introduced in this paper. The emphasis of NTUPAL1 is offering increased mobility for elderly people who are less-mobile.

The core software modules in terms of dynamic scene understanding and human understanding are summarized to demonstrate our progress towards socially assistive robotics for the elderly.
