“…The transformation of buildings into smart homes (Intille et al 2006;Hsu 2012), assistive environments for senior citizens (Wichert and Mand 2017), or robotic environments (Sugano and Shirai 2006;Williams and Nayak 1996;Kurazume et al 2017;Pyo et al 2015) are currently in the focus of the research and development of both academia and industry. However, many attempts have been made to embed distributed sensory and motivation functions into the built environment to support the monitoring and care for healthier and more independent elderly people's living (Intille 2002;Intille 2004;Pyo et al 2014;Sakamura 1996;Sato et al 2004).…”

The world's population is aging at an unprecedented pace. Aging society is not only a severe crisis in the developed world, but also a rigorous challenge in emerging economies. Many age-related diseases are fostered by the lack of physical, cognitive, and social activities. Increasing the activity level has many benefits for the elderly and can improve their independence. Based on the analysis of the state-of-the-art and shortcomings of the current smart home solutions, the EU-funded research project REACH aims to develop a service system that will turn clinical and care environments into personalized modular sensing, prevention, and intervention systems that encourage the elderly to become healthy through various activities. To achieve that goal, the research team developed a series of smart furniture (PI 2 Us) that materialize the research concepts and functionality seamlessly into the various environments. Specifically, the development process and the functionality testing results of the PI 2 Us are reported in detail. In addition, a simulated smart home solution concept (TRACK) integrating key assistive technologies developed is proposed to create a comprehensive interior living and care environment for elderly users. Due to its modularity and flexibility, the partial or entire solution can be easily adapted and rapidly deployed in different use case settings in Europe, which allows the project consortium to execute different testing activities. In the next phase, the research team will focus on enhancing the usability and performance of the prototypes in order to eventually push them to the market. In conclusion, this research provides an innovative smart home solution for the industry to mitigate the impact of aging society.

In this volume, concepts, technologies, and developments in the field of building component manufacturing (BCM, outlined in Chapter 2) based on concrete, brickwork, wood, and steel materials, as well as building module manufacturing (outlined in Chapter 3) and large-scale prefabrication (LSP, outlined in Chapters 4 and 5) with the potential to deliver complex components and products, are introduced and discussed. BCM refers to the transformation of materials, parts and low-level components into higher level components through the use of highly mechanized, automated, or robot-supported industrial settings. The definitions of components share a common element; they are, more or less, a complex combination of individual preexisting basic elements, parts and/or lower level components. BCM should also be distinguished from the manufacturing of more complex modules (e.g., prefabricated bath modules) or units (products of LSP companies, e.g., prefabricated three-dimensional building sections as manufactured, for example, by Toyota Home and Sekisui Heim). For highly automated LSP, according to the original equipment manufacturer (OEM; see also Section 1.1) model, component manufacturers (BCM companies) represent Tier-1 or Tier-2 suppliers. Tier-1 suppliers deliver components directly to LSP companies such as Sekisui Heim, whereas Tier-2 suppliers would, for example, provide them to the suppliers of the bath or kitchen modules (building module manufacturers). For automated construction sites utilizing singe-task construction robots (STCRs, see Volume 3) or automated/robotic on-site factories (see Volume 4), low-and high-level components manufacturers (BCM, manufacturers of modules, LSP) again represent Tier-n suppliers. In automotive manufacturing, for example, the Smartville factory (Volume 1, Section 4.3.4) demonstrates that the delivery of well prefabricated, high-level components to the final integrator and assembly line considerably reduces task variability, the amount of necessary assembly operations, organizational complexity and lead times and increases significantly the possibility to automate. Well-designed basic elements/parts/components are able to foster the creation of a structured environment (SE) in the receiving value added step. Therefore, as outlined in Volume 1, Section 6.3, in automated/robotic construction the whole value chain has to be considered, as each value added step holds the potential for prestructuring and simplification of processes (major success factor for efficient automation/use of robotic technology) 1 https://www.cambridge.org/core/terms.
