Assistant Robot for the Elderly People Controlled Through Smart Watch

Abstract

With the progress of ageing society, more elderly people are living alone. Due to work and school factors, family members are not always available at home to care for the elderly. It is dangerous if they suffer an accident at home alone. Therefore, attention has been gone to robot to help humans in relieving job. The robot can replace human mobilization for move so that the efficiency of wasted time will be less. Many things need to be noting what kind of robot control reliable to replace human work in mobilization. In this paper a smart humanoid voice controlled robot to serve the elderly people with at most efficient and reliable way is proposed. This robot is implemented using 3D printing technology and controlled by smart watch using WiFi technology. The person voice command is synthesised by android application in the smart watch, then the speech will be analyzed and converted into text. These processed commands would be sent to the robot via WiFi and analyzed by the microcontroller in the robot to take the correct action depended on the processing voice command. Also, the proposed robot will monitor the person’s activities and status and warning him about any abnormal status and also reminding him about the necessary tasks.
