The last two month work consists in analyzing the system and its capabilities in order to define scenarios that will point out the developments done for the project.

Test Scenarios

Test case 1

The purpose of this test is to check the person behavior monitoring vision system alone. For this purpose the next test case scenario is proposed in the context of the practical scenario.

Mary is sitting, playing a game with the robot, so the robot is watching at her face and analyzes the facial expressions and the pose of the head. Suddenly Mary stops playing and her facial expression changes. She’s having a heart attack. Kompaï detects a strange behavior (e.g. she’s shaking) and signs of negative emotions in her face (e.g. fear, disgust). So Kompaï sends an alert to the caregiver.

Test Case 2

The purpose of this second case is to test the combination of the autonomous navigation of the Kompaï robot at home and the monitoring vision system. Two sub cases are proposed, one for a positive response and the other one for an emergency situation:

1.       Mary gets a videoconference call from Kompaï but does not go to the robot to answer it. Later on, she receives a second call and she does not answer to it either. Therefore, the robot starts a patrol around the house and finds her at the kitchen. She is cooking, so she didn’t hear the calls, but she is ok. The robot approaches to hear and asks if she is ok. Then she realizes that the robot is there, turns around and makes the “everything ok” gesture.

2.       Mary gets a videoconference call from Kompaï but does not go to the robot to answer it. Later on, she receives a second call and she does not answer to it either. Therefore, the robot starts a patrol around the house and finds her at the kitchen. She is laying on the floor and the robot detects her presence. The robot approaches to hear and asks if she is ok. Kompaï does not receive any response, and after analyzing her pose, facial expression and environment, decides that she is in trouble and sends an emergency alarm.

In this period the D1.1 Hardware and Software specifications of the modified platform was written.

The technical choices are done and kompaï robot is planned to be built.

Vicomtech start working on task 2: Locating people at a medium/long distance.
