This article demonstrates a multidisciplinary approach that proposes to augment future caregiving by prolonged independence of older adults. The human–robot system allows the elderly to cooperate with small flying robots through an appropriate interface. ASPIRE provides a platform where high-level controllers can be designed to provide a layer of abstraction between the high-level task requests, the perceptual needs of the users, and the physical demands of the robotic platforms. With a robust framework that has the capability to account for human perception and comfort level, one can provide perceived safety for older adults, and further, add expressively that facilitates communication and interaction continuously throughout the stimulation. The proposed framework relies on an iterative process of low-level controllers design through experimental data collected from psychological trials. Future work includes the exploration of multiple carebots to cooperatively assist in caregiving tasks based on human-centered design approach.

Hexacopter belongs to one of flying robots that is used to carry out a special mission such as retrieving and delivering survival kits object. Thus, it should be built by smart system to determine the object accurately. However, there was an interference from other object that made it difficult to recognize the survival kits object. Therefore, the development of machine vision with the integration of the hexacopter control system is expected to improve the object recognition process. This study intends to develop a survival kit detection using the image processing method, which involved 1) segmentation on the Hue, Saturation, Value (HSV) color space, 2) contour detection, and 3) Region of Interest (ROI) selected detection. The evaluation of the segmentation method performances was done through the three-part experiments (i.e., the similar shape, variety of a color object, and an object shape). The result of survival kits object detection evaluation obtained an accuracy of 90.33%, precision of 99.63%, and recall of 91.24%. According to the performances obtained in this study, the development of machine vision systems on Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) has a high accuracy for the object survival kits detection even with another object interference.
