Within the framework of the project “JuBot – Young at heart with robots: Versatile assistance robotics for managing everyday life”, researchers will develop a new generation of the known humanoid ARMAR robots. These helpers are supposed to take over everyday tasks in the household, such as bringing objects, laying and clearing the table, putting objects into the dishwasher, and communicating via various channels with the relatives of the persons they care for. Secondly, researchers will study and develop wearable robots – also called exoskeletons – that do not only support personal mobility of elderly people, but also enable specific training of motor and cognitive skills.
The DSN research group cooperates with Professor Zitterbart's Telematics research group in the JuBot subproject “Secure and Privacy-Preserving Design for Assistive Robotics”.
