In future many elderly people will have to stay longer in their homes. This requires intelligent monitoring of the elderly. When somebody falls, does not stand up or requires help, ambient intelligence in the house should detect accidents or health emergencies and take action like warning a care center. Besides the ambient intelligence in the house also a mobile interaction system is required with direct sensing of the person observed. The robot companion helps a person with the communication with the intelligent house and the communication with a care center when needed. This project is concerned with the development of such a mobile personal robot companion.
