DALi - DEVICES FOR ASSISTED LIVING

Healthy adults take for granted the ability to navigate through complex and crowded environments. For adults with reduced physical or mental ability, particularly older adults, simple daily tasks, such as shopping or just socialising, can be extremely challenging. Normal environments can seem hostile and unfamiliar; As a result, those with reduced ability tend to avoid going out and suffer a consequent loss of physical and mental wellbeing, arising from reduced exercise, reduced fresh food and reduced socialising. To address this problem, we have developed a portable motion planning device for crowded environments, to help reduce the stress of a user with impaired ability. Our device takes the responsibility of finding the best course of action in the local environment, freeing the user to focus on more important things, such as the physical effort of moving.
