Abstract

This paper aims to show the effectiveness of a (inter / multi)disciplinary team, based on the technology developers, elderly care organizations, and designers, in developing the ASTRO robotic system for domiciliary assistance to elderly people. The main issues presented in this work concern the improvement of robot’s behavior by means of a smart sensor network able to share information with the robot for localization and navigation, and the design of the robot’s appearance and functionalities by means of a substantial analysis of users’ requirements and attitude to robotic technology to improve acceptability and usability.
