“…Rolland's navigation assistant and natural language interaction technology is integrated, as [10] discussed in the following case scenario: Mario is sitting in his wheelchair at the desk of his home office. When he says to Rolland 'I'd like to eat a pizza', the wheelchair takes him to the kitchen.…”

In this paper we describe speech processing in the Bremen ambient assisted living lab (BAALL); how it is currently and how it can be improved in the future with the implementation of Machine Translation (MT) technology. We are experiencing the ageing population phenomenon today and thus living in a safe, autonomous, independent, and convenient way in a domestic environment with multimodal human-machine interfaces is desired. We argue for multilinguality in assisted living environments by means of development of a speech-to-speech translation (SST) system.

“…Currently, there are more than 400 active projects-and more under constant development-on the subjects of social acceptance of new initiatives and social systems design in the areas of mobility [38], energy sustainability [39] and healthcare [40], and the social implementation of new technologies such as healthcare and internet of things (IoT) [41,42]. In Japan, living labs have been implemented in various environments [43,44].…”

Living Lab for Citizens’ Wellness: A Case of Maintaining and Improving a Healthy Diet under the COVID-19 Pandemic

The establishment and implementation of a healthy lifestyle is fundamental to public health and is an important issue for working-aged people, as it affects not only them but also the future generations. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and associated behavioural restrictions, lifestyles have altered, and, in certain environments, significantly worsened. In the present study, we conducted a project to improve the intestinal environment by focussing on the dietary habits of participants, utilising the living laboratory as a social technology to explore how to adapt to this drastic environmental change. We held eight workshops for voluntary participants and implemented a self-monitoring process of recording dietary behaviours (n = 78) and testing the intestinal environment (n = 14). Through this initiative, we developed a personalised wellness enhancement programme based on collaboration with multiple stakeholders and a framework for using personal data for research and practical purposes. These results provide an approach for promoting voluntary participation and behavioural changes among people, especially under the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as a practical basis for the government, academia, and industry to intervene effectively in raising people’s awareness of health and wellness.

“…Our framework is integrated into a larger assistance system in a Smart Home environment, namely the Bremen Ambient Assisted Living Lab (BAALL) (Krieg-Brückner et al 2010). The environment has at its disposal many actuators and sensors such as automatic doors, a smart TV, and also an autonomous robotic wheelchair.…”

Making sense of incomplete and conflicting narrative knowledge in the presence of abnormalities, unobservable processes, and other real world considerations is a challenge and crucial requirement for cognitive robotics systems. An added challenge, even when suitably specialised action languages and reasoning systems exist, is practical integration and application within large-scale robot control frameworks. In the backdrop of an autonomous wheelchair robot control task, we report on application-driven work to realise postdiction triggered abnormality detection and re-planning for real-time robot control: (a) Narrative-based knowledge about the environment is obtained via a larger smart environment framework; and (b) abnormalities are postdicted from stablemodels of an answer-set program corresponding to the robot's epistemic model. The overall reasoning is performed in the context of an approximate epistemic action theory based planner implemented via a translation to answer-set programming.1 This paper does not directly address spatial representation and reasoning. Instead, the focus here is on action and change.
