2. The World of
Robotics
Robotics the science and technology of robots, and their design,
manufacture, and application.
Robotics has connections to electronics, mechanics and software.
Robots are widely used in manufacturing, assembly and packing, transport,
earth and space exploration, surgery, weaponry, laboratory research, safety,
and mass production of consumer and industrial goods.

4. Domotics TEXT
Home automation is defined as a
process or system (using different
methods or equipment) which
provides the ability to enhance one's
lifestyle, and make a home more
comfortable, safe and efficient.
Home automation is all about
automating things in your home
(home functions) that you would
otherwise do manually, spending
time.
Domotics is the combination of
technology and services for improved
living in the areas of safety, comfort
and technical management. It is
therefor a complete system, not just a
remote control.

6. Smart Homes
for the Elderly
This form of home automation (called
assistive domotics) focuses on making it
possible for the elderly and disabled to
remain at home and remain safe and
comfortable.
Home automation is becoming a viable
option for the elderly and disabled who
would prefer to stay in the comfort of their
home rather than move to a healthcare
facility.
This field uses much of the same
technology and equipment as home
automation for security, entertainment,
and energy conservation but tailors it
towards the elderly and disabled.

10. Overview
Goal of robotic smart homes - to allow the user to
•
maintain independence in daily activities
2 types of robots used in smart homes:
•
rehabilitation-oriented robot
•
service-oriented robot

14. Business Applications
Smart Homes currently have many business
applications and additional applications that have yet
to be realized.
As well as cost-effectively delivering information and
entertainment to the home, there are business
applications such as farming that are a natural
extension of the smart home.
The online doctor who can monitor people with mild
dementia or Alzheimers Disease is another automation
application (it has been proven people live longer in
their own homes).
15. Production Introduction
The technology used in smart homes for disabled
are much the same as the technology used for
entertainment, energy efficient housing and
automated security
Two different systems
Private Health Networks
Embedded Health Systems

21. The Bill Gates Home
Costs
Bill Gates spent more than $100 million building his smart home.
Once a draw for the tech-savvy or the wealthy, smart homes and home
automation are becoming more common. About $14 billion was spent on
home networking in 2005, and analysts predict that figure will climb to more
than $85 billion by 2011.
The average price of a basic smart home will cost 10% of the price of the
home for upgrades.

23. Cost Considerations
What kinds of components are part of the system? Are they basic, such a
•
light dimmer, or more imposing, like an alarm system or a camera?
How intuitive will the system be to a non-user?
•
How many people will be required to use the system?
•
Who will know how to operate the system? Who will know how to maintain
•
the system and address failures? How often will people who can only
operate the system be left alone in the home?
How easy is it to make changes to the interface? For example, if your house
•
is programmed to wake you up at 7 a.m., how will you let it know that you're
away overnight on business or sleeping in on a Saturday?
