Robotic pet based interactive home healthcare system

Using entertaining robotic pets in home healthcare monitoring system is the new idea featured in our research project reported in this paper. The structure, features and control system of this home healthcare system are presented. Hybrid evolutionary control architecture that have the virtues of both AI-based and behavior-based control architecture is proposed. The designed architecture endows the robot with the ability of learning, adaptation, quick reactive speed and rationality, also with the ability of achieving given tasks. The design of home healthcare system makes sure that the robotic pet reliably accomplishes the vital physiological data collection, data transmission and healthcare tasks with strong situation adaptability, low costs and high robustness. The system can be applied at home to masters suffering from chronic diseases, to handicapped masters, and also to fragile elderly masters
