Project description

We are surrounded by a variety of more-or-less intelligent technical devices, designed to serve you us or others. Applications onin your mobile phones, wrist-worn health sensors on your wrists, autonomous vacuum cleaners, robots on the factory floor and increasingly autonomous cars all pledge to ease your tasks and keep usyou safe and healthy. SThe seamless interplay with these devices gets gainsmore importane as these devices proliferate and grow in t with the increased autonomy and pervasive presence of the devices. We expect continuously available support fromin the services they provide yet we want them to disappear unobtrusively in the background when not needed. In order to provide support in a collaborative environment with human, physical and digital players, the technology needs to be equipped with senses to grasp human presence, their mental and physical state, their activities and their intentions. This is required to ensure human safety, safeguard their health, and allow for natural interaction. This project intends to improve sensing of human presence, behaviour and health in a collaborative or common environment by means of multi-sensor systems.
