DISTRIBUTED MULTI-SENSOR SYSTEMS FOR HUMAN SAFETY AND HEALTH

Project description

Intelligent systems must understand humans well enough to guard health and safety

In our increasingly tech-saturated world, from mobile apps and health sensors to autonomous cars and factory robots, we expect these devices to seamlessly integrate into our lives, enhancing safety and convenience. However, as these devices proliferate and their autonomy grows, ensuring they provide unobtrusive, yet effective support becomes crucial. With this in mind, the EU-funded DistriMuSe project will advance multi-sensor systems designed to better detect human presence, behaviour, and health in collaborative environments. By equipping technology with enhanced sensory capabilities, DistriMuSe aims to facilitate more natural interactions and ensure safety and health in environments shared by humans and intelligent systems.

Objective

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.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
