BAALL

For research and development the BAALL, opened in 2009, is the ideal environment: here, researchers from DFKI together with scientists from the University of Bremen and the Collaborative Research Center SFB/TR8 Spatial Cognition of the German Research Foundation are developing mobile assistance and support systems for seniors in spe. They are testing them with regards to their everyday usability, and are continuously improving them. This includes inter alia the development of an intelligent wheelchair and an intelligent walker. Both are equipped with sensors and actors allowing them to support the user with safe driving (braking, automatic collision avoidance or evasion) and navigation to known locations... In the Bremen Ambient Assisted Living Lab new intelligent technologies are being tested in a realistic environment... DFKI is where a diverse and multinational team is actively shaping the future. Our goal is to further strengthen this diversity throughout our management team...
