Proper nutrition is important for the well-being of older adults. Inadequate or wrong food consumption during meals can lead to health issues. In this paper, we present an application that uses a humanoid Socially Assistive Robot, Alpha Mini in this case, in order to monitor the behavior and engage adults during meal-time, enhancing their experience. The robot works in a tight coupling with Artificial intelligence technologies based on Deep learning for the tasks of activity recognition and food detection and recognition.

摘要

Proper nutrition is important for the well-being of older adults. Inadequate or wrong food consumption during meals can lead to health issues. In this paper, we present an application that uses a humanoid Socially Assistive Robot, Alpha Mini in this case, in order to monitor the behavior and engage adults during meal-time, enhancing their experience. The robot works in a tight coupling with Artificial intelligence technologies based on Deep learning for the tasks of activity recognition and food detection and recognition.
