The maintenance at home of handicapped or old people poses two major problems: the safety of the persons and their autonomy. The project combines two approaches: remote monitoring for safety and functional substitution for autonomy. A system of remote monitoring makes it possible to the person to remain at home while taking advantage of a medical supervision remotely and thus of a good reactivity in the event of emergency. Functional substitution is ensured by a robotized assistant able to manipulate usual objects. The assistant contributes to the integration of a person with reduced mobility in a daily living environment. Originality of the project lies in the combination of a remote monitoring system with robotics.
