The networked, robotic home+ furniture suite: A distributed, assistive technology facilitating aging in place
Smart and Connected Home / Responsive Environments / Aging in Place / Under-serviced Populations
Project 1
Nearly 90 percent of seniors want to stay in their own homes as they age, a phenomenon characterized as aging in place. Aging in place describes individuals choosing to remain in their own homes, independently, for as long as possible, rather than living in institutionalized settings. However, homes remain mostly conventional, low-tech, and maladaptive to dramatic life changes. As a response to that issue, this page introduces a novel, networked and interoperative suite of robotic furniture. This suite forms a key part of home+, an assistive technology environment aimed at supporting aging in place.
