Researchers detail new data in robotics. According to news originating from Aichi, Japan, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, “Assistive robots and technologies can play a key role in supporting the independence and social participation of older people, helping them living healthy lives and reducing the burden on caregivers.” Financial supporters for this research include Japan Science And Technology Agency; National Center For Geriatrics And Gerontology. Our news reporters obtained a quote from the research from National Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology: “To support the effective development of assistive robots and technologies, it is important to develop a “living laboratory” to verify and adapt technology in real-life living spaces. The purpose of this study is to validate assistive robots using a living laboratory that simulates typical indoor and outdoor reallife situations. The rationale is to enable evaluation of daily living activities of older people in a simulated living space. To minimize the risk of trauma after falls, a ceiling suspension system was installed in the living laboratory. Six different commercially available mobility and transfer support robots were introduced and tested. We demonstrated that effective scenarios could be implemented using these assistive robots within the living laboratory.”
