Overview
AIR4DP stands for "Artificial Intelligence and Robotic Assistive Technology devices for Disabled People". It is a coordinated project funded by Spain's Ministry of Science and Innovation, in the call «R&D Projects» 2019 - Modalities «Research Challenges».
With AIR4DP we present a multi-disciplinary project and cross-border research, where the main research objective consists in the development of novel AI and computer vision based robotic solutions with advanced mobility and human-robot wearable interaction capabilities, to improve the independence and stimulation of people with disabilities.
With this target, we present a coordinated project that is divided into three sub-projects, whose main scientific objectives are:
- Create novel mobile platforms with advanced perception, interaction and navigation capabilities, able to stimulate and monitor the improvement of the independence of people with functional diversity (SUBPROJECT 1: AIRPLANE - Reference: PID2019-104323RB-C31).
- Develop new wearable technical solutions for monitoring physiological aspects to help the detection of emotional states and user activities (SUBPROJECT 2: AAI - Reference: PID2019-104323RB-C32).
- Get the best evidence about the impact of assistive technology based on AI in the life of the person with a disability (SUBPROJECT 3: MATCH - Reference: PID2019-104323RB-C33).
AIR4DP main outcomes are:
- A semi-autonomous platform to help people moving in interior scenarios. The platform must navigate in a building with few indications from the users.
- Autonomous platforms to navigate indoors just with a simple order indicating where to go.
- Assisted mobility platforms to promote mobility through prototypes of mobile platforms for people with mobility problems.
- Monitoring and stimulation wearable devices to identify for example the emotions of the users while performing a diagnosed exercise or in their daily life.
