Facilities

Explore the facilities on offer at the Robotic Assisted Living Testbed.

About

The testbed is a 60m2 square meters simulated apartment adjacent to a 60m2 workshop. The simulated apartment is a fully sensorised space designed to resemble a typical single level home comprising an open-plan living, dining and kitchen area and a bathroom and bedroom, and hosting a number of smart home, assistive technologies and domestic robots. The space is equipped with a motion capturing system (Vicon), a network of CCTV cameras, an RFID floor, and a device-free-sensing (DFS) system for indoor localization and unobtrusive monitoring of activities of daily living and wellness.

The apartment part of the infrastructure is based on the general design and specifications of the RoCKIn@Home testbed. For more details check the RoCKIn@Home rulebook.
