Objective
Personal mobility is an indispensable factor of human freedom, dignity and quality of life. Changing from the "Industrial" to the "Information Society" also implies the freedom to move within the information space, to have access to adequate IST tools and to prevent the digital divide. Old and disabled people thus face a threefold barrier (a) having problems moving themselves; (b) having difficulties handling or moving objects; (c) living on the downside of the digital divide.MOVEMENT aims at the development of a modular versatile mobility enhancement system. The core is formed by an intelligent mobile (robotic) platform which can attach to a user definable selection of application modules (e.g. chair, manipulator, ICT Terminal) which are more or less inconspicuous mainstream articles but will become powerful assistive devices when the mobile platform attaches to them All three dimensions of personal mobility - MOVEMENT of People - MOVEMENT of Objects - MOVEMENT of Information - are comprehensively addressed. The system is designed around our novel concept on "Modular Mobility" where dedicated modules (agents) open flexibility, operational stability and cost reduction. Modules will be self-organizing in an innovative way by adapting to the current setup. Open interfaces will allow easy integration of existing assistive devices as well as development of application modules from 3rd parties. An intuitive command interface supports the user by estimating his/her intention and automatically adapting the current needs. The final result is an easy-to us system with "plug an play" functionality for different kinds of user support compatible also to the market demands - a system, the target user group is waiting for since so many years.
