Abstract


At the last decades, personal domestic robots are considered as the future for tackling the societal challenge inherent in the growing elderly population. Ageing is typically associated with physical and cognitive decline, altering the way an older person moves around the house, manipulates objects and senses the home environment. This paper aims to demonstrate the RAMCIP robot, which is a Robotic Assistant for patients with Mild Cognitive Impairments (MCI), suitable to provide its services in domestic environments. The use cases that the robot addresses are described herein outlining the necessary requirements that set the basis for the software and hardware architectural components. A short description of the integrated cognitive, perception, manipulation and navigation capabilities of the robot is provided. Robot’s autonomy is enabled through a specific decision making and task planning framework. The robot has been evaluated in ten real home environments of real MCI users exhibiting remarkable performance.
