Service Robot for Care
Gesubsidieerd door het Ministerie van Economische Zaken en de Provincie Noord-Brabant
Kees van Hee
2Teleoperated Service robots
• Two components: master = cockpit and slave = service robot • Goal: service robot can perform all human manual actions, at least at any
place a human can do it• The (human) operator may overrule the control completely

3Tele-operations• Ultimate form of remote control• Manual actions over a great distance• Extending human manual reach at world scale• Uncouple the place of action from the place where the action is devised
Compare it with electricity: the place where it is produced is uncoupled
from the place where it is consumed
Therefore: Teleoperations is a new Industrial Revolution!

Examples of teleoperations
5What service robots can do more…• Service robots can do more than a human:
– Moving with more power– Moving with different speed– Moving over greater distance– Moving with more precision– They can multiply actions– They can work at place a human does not want to be
• We can program them for special tasks (more autonomy)• They can learn from example actions (learning by doing)
Service vs industrial robots
Service
• Arbitrary tasks • Non routine tasks• Relatively slowly• Moderate accuracy• Visual servoing, haptic feedback• Navigation• Acting safely in a human
environment
Industrial
• Programmed tasks• Only routine tasks• High speed • High precision • Controlled by position• Static or moving over fixed rail• Industrial environment (safety
cage)

Overall
Why Service Robots in Home-care?
• Cost of care is increasing dramatically• In a few years there will be more new jobs needed in
(home) care than new employees entering the labour market
• Care clients want to live at home longer• Care clients want to keep there independence and
privacy
Care from a distance (current situation)
• Video communication to support people at home
• Fall detection• Alarming, signaling
Only information exchange;
No physical intervention at
the client site

TSR Project
• Goal: to build a demonstrator tele-operated robot for home care en perform experiments in a home environment
• Budget: 2.7 milion Euro• Duration: October 2009 until Juni 2012• Subsidienten: Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs &
Province Noord-Brabant• 11 partners: 7 MSE, 3 research, 1 care organization

Iterations

Phase 0 Phase 1 Phase 2
Rose 0: March 2010
• Goal: Proof of concept• First control experiences:
• To grab something manually is difficult
• Perceiving Depth is difficult• A wheel chair is too big and heavy
for autonomous navigation in home
Rose 1: March 2011• Goal: The first workable demonstrator• First experiments with home-care
employees and control from a distance• Enthousiastic Operators• First automated Tasks: Grab - Place• Task space needs to be increased• Two wheel drive is not manouvrable
enough• Development in home environment is
an enormous boost
Rose 2 (Rose): March 2012• Goal: A new robot based on
previous experiences• Experiments in home, with
home-care employees and clients• Enthousiastic clients• More autonomy, towards useful
applications• Concept fully operational

User perspective
• Human-Machine Interaction• Social behavior• Safety and reliability• Cost-effectiveness
Technology perspective
• Navigation while carying objects• Visual servoing• Object recognition (from database)

TSR as household assistant
• Many applications: e.g.– Feeding the cat when you are at work– Watering the plants in your holiday home
• Same technology!• ´A robot in every household´ (Bill Gates)
23
Market for care robots
• 2.2 M people over 65 in Netherlands• 10% is a potential TSR user: 220.000• 5% will really use it: 11.000• Lifecycle: 5 year • Yearly replacement: 2.200 stuks• Price per robot: 20.000€• Market: 44 M€ per year
only the Netherlands!
24
Business Case (1/2)Three alternatives:
1. Rose 24.7 + professional care 2 hr p. day
2. Permanent care+ professional care 1hr p. day
3. In elderly home
Yearly cost:
4. 58K
5. 270K
6. 70K
25
Business Case (2/2)
• Rose with continuous operator assistance: € 29K (€ 6K robot, €23K shared operator(1/15))
• Professional care 1hr p. day: € 14,6K (€ 40 p. hr)• Break even:
3 hr p. day prof. help = continuous robot assistance
alternative 1: 6K+23K+29K= 58K
26
Economical impact
• Roll out in other countries• Expanding to other application domains• Creation of a new industry, using existing suppliers• New services: consultancy and taylor-made software• Challenges for existing industries: teleoperations
27
Other Domains
• Care institutions• Holiday homes• Office Environment• Maintenance Complex installations• Clean-rooms• Security
