At the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, research projects related to nursing care robots, in which Professor Jeong Nak-young in the field of intelligent robotics and Professor Yasuo Tan in the field of security networks participate, are the Horizon 2020 of the European Committee and the "28 Strategy" of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications. It was adopted as a joint project with "Professor of Information and Communication Research and Development (International Standard Acquisition Type)".
Horizon 2020 is the largest program to promote research and innovative development on a European scale, with approximately € 2014 billion in public funding over the seven years from 2020 to 7. thing.This time, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications' Strategic Information and Communication R & D Promotion Project, together with Horizon 800, solicited proposals for R & D issues to be implemented jointly with European research institutes, and the research project related to nursing robots by Professor Chung Nak Young and others was adopted. rice field.This project makes the nursing care space smarter by using an information communication network and high-precision wireless sensor technology, and develops a method for the nursing care robot to apply the optimal cultural knowledge while internalizing it. Aiming to improve and develop new markets.
In Europe, it is important to consider the diverse cultural backgrounds and values of each care recipient in the nursing care scene for the elderly, but the development of a long-term care support system that takes these into consideration has been carried out so far. I didn't.On the other hand, in Japan, with the development of information and communication network technology, nursing care robots can provide simple support services in a smart space, and some cultural perception behaviors have also been realized.However, its functionality is limited and requires development.
Against the background of the current situation in Europe and Japan, the project aims to develop a nursing robot environment system that can perceive and infer cultural identities at the national, regional or individual user level and provide appropriate services accordingly. ..The project period is from November 2016, 11 to January 1, 2020 (planned).Joint research institutes include Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Chubu University, Nagoya University, Advinia Health Care (UK), Genova University (Italy), Orebro University (Sweden), etc.
