Ageing at home
Everyday routines, reminders, family connection and practical support around the home, with the person in control.
Uses
Care and independent living are the destination.
We are interested in everyday support where a personalised assistant can provide useful, repeated and safely supervised help, on a tablet first and through a robot where that adds value.
Supported living
Routine assistance, communication, orientation and simple practical tasks that can reduce friction for residents and staff.
Home care
A consistent point of contact between visits, and a way to let a carer or family member know when a person should step in.
Physical assistance
Fetching, carrying and household help through a robot body, as mobile manipulation becomes reliable and affordable enough.
How we choose an early task
Early deployments should be easy to explain and evaluate. We favour tasks that are repeated often enough to matter, can be supervised, and have a clear human handover.
We are not trying to automate an entire care role at once. A narrow task that genuinely helps is a better starting point.
Know a task worth testing?
Care providers, families and researchers can bring a real problem without exposing sensitive client information.
