The DOMEO project has developed mobility assistive and companion robots to provide personalised domestic services. They have successfully trialled advanced robotic devices in real homes, with real people, and are now looking to commercialise the technology in order to deliver the maximum impact to its user base.
The DOMEO platform includes: 2 types of robots (cognitive and physical); graphic and tactile interfaces; voice recognition and speech synthesis; cloud services for tele-presence; tools for integration of various sensors and services.
The middleware software platform used for integration, is available in open-source, to make easier different implementations and scenarios. DOMEO deals with all the aspects of assistive robotics: robotic and internet technologies; medical and non-medical sensors; interface with home infrastructures; ethical issues.
