Supported human autonomy for recovery and enhancement of cognitive and motor abilities using information technologies

Objective

The goal of SHARE-it is to develop a scalable, adaptive system of add-ons to sensor and assistive technology so that they can be modularly integrated into an intelligent home environment to enhance the individual's autonomy. The system will be designed to inform and assist the user and his/her caregivers through monitoring and mobility help. Thus, we plan to contribute to the development of the next generation of assistive devices for older persons or people with disabilities so that they can be self-dependent as long as possible. We focus on add-ons to be compatible with existing technologies and to achieve an easier integration into existing systems. We also aim at adaptive systems as transparent and easy to use to the person as possible. Scalability is meant to include or remove devices from the system in a simple, intuitive way. SHARE-it will address important issues in sensor networks, assisted mobility, knowledge engineering and Ambient Intelligence.

In this context SHARE-it will make significant contributions to fundamental, long term research in the following two areas:
C1: Verifying system adaptation to persons with special needs: both at design and run-time - as operating conditions and governing norms change - to establish e.g. safety, regulatory and security requirements
C2: Incorporating shared autonomy: ensuring individual components can be designed to operate in a given intelligent ambiance and adapt to possible changes both in the needs of the user or in the environment

Objectives of SHARE-it are:
O1: To explore the benefits of the concept of situated intelligence to build elements (add-ons) that will enhance the autonomy of the target user group in their daily life in their preferred environment
O2: To investigate and implement innovative forms of shared autonomy
O3: To build appropriate add-ons to standardised technologies to provide ubiquitous sensing, computation and assistance
O4: To build adaptive interfaces for the target group

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: https://op.europa.eu/en/web/eu-vocabularies/euroscivoc.
