Scientists have designed a helper robot to search for objects in a house. Reported by the University of Waterloo.
Dementia or senile dementia is a disease that affects older people with reduced cognitive function. As a result, not only is people’s ability to plan and evaluate judgments critically impaired, but their memory is also severely damaged. Therefore, patients may forget where they left their essential items such as medicine, phone or glasses. Due to cognitive impairment, people may not notice the subject or may use an inefficient search algorithm.
Ali Ayub and his colleagues have proposed a way to program assistive robots that can assist humans in their searches. Fetch robot senses the world around it with the help of cameras and has artificial intelligence with a good memory for real world events. The program is based on an image recognition algorithm that allows you to distinguish one object from another, and with its help, the robot looks at the recorded video and looks for where the target thing is. Via the GUI, users can choose which item they want to watch. The robot can then indicate when and where it last observed a particular object.
In the near future, the authors of the development plan plan to conduct trials first with healthy volunteers, then with dementia patients.
