چکیده

Personal aids for mobility and monitoring (PAMM), for the elderly are presented. The devices are intended to delay the transition from eldercare (assisted living) facilities to nursing homes. The robotic PAMMs provide support, guidance, and health monitoring. Issues of mobility, sensing, and control as well as experimental data from trials in an assisted living facility using both systems are presented.

Personal Adaptive Mobility Aid for the Infirm and Elderly Blind

This technical report describes ongoing research into the development of a robotic mobility aid (PAM-AID) for people with a visually impairment who also require support during walking. These disabilities coincide most often in the elderly and as the elderly constitute almost two thirds of all blind people (due to the fact that blindness occurs most often in the over 65's) we feel that this atte...
