Marcos Sacristán Herrero, Alberto Brunete, Miguel Hernando, Ernesto Gambao Galán · 2018
The Robohealth project is a coordinated project whose main objective is the development of assistance and rehabilitation robots in hospital intelligent environments, contributing, in this way, to the improvement of the National Health System. This article presents one of the subprojects of the Robohealth project whose objective is the development of intelligent environments for patients living with robots that actively support people in their daily lives in domestic, professional and public environments. In these intelligent spaces a new, intuitive and immersive interaction between the environment and its devices, robots and users is necessary. As a demonstrator of the developed technology, a prototype of a smart hospital room equipped with home automation equipment and a robotic assistance arm is presented.
