Area of Science:

  • Computer Science
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Older adults face unique challenges like cognitive decline and solitude.
  • Voice-controlled smart home systems offer potential solutions for proactive support.
  • Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) are suitable for dynamic, distributed environments like Ambient Intelligence (AmI).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To adapt a MAS-based voice-controlled smart home system for the elderly.
  • To evaluate the system's suitability for addressing the needs of older adults.
  • To identify areas for improvement in human-agent interaction within AmI.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a Multi-Agent System (MAS) platform.
  • Applied a four-step interactive design process.
  • Adapted functionalities previously developed for visually impaired users.

Main Results:

  • The adapted system demonstrated elements conducive to natural user interaction.
  • The approach showed potential for supporting older adults with cognitive decline and solitude.
  • Identified specific improvements and new features for future AmI system development.

Conclusions:

  • The MAS-based voice-controlled system offers a viable approach for supporting older adults.
  • Natural interaction is key for effective Ambient Intelligence (AmI) applications.
  • Further development can enhance AmI systems for greater user adaptability and support.
