The project of the Institute of Robotics for Dependency will use the social robot Misty to provide assistance, support and monitoring to elder people living alone.<\/strong><\/p>\n The 5G Barcelona\u2019s Challenge initiative, has received 53 applications from 14 countries with projects aimed at improving the autonomy of elder people.<\/strong><\/p>\n Ageing population is one of Barcelona’s most important social problems: according to the 2018 census, more than 90,000 people over the age of 65 live alone in the city.<\/p>\n The challenge “Improving eldery\u2019s quality of life (at home) through technology” is an initiative of the 5G Barcelona that has evaluated 53 applications from 14 countries, aimed at improving the autonomy of elder people in the domestic sphere and their living conditions during ageing.<\/p>\n The IRD\u2019s winner project is coordinated by Grupo Salt\u00f3<\/a> and will use the Misty<\/a> personal robot to interact with older people and offer assistance, support and monitoring according to their daily habits (medication, cleaning, feeding, etc.) or state of health. Next March, pilot tests will begin to test the solution in the city of Barcelona. The other project partners are the “\u00c0rea de Drets Socials de l’Ajuntament de Barcelona”, “Fundaci\u00f3 i2CAT” and the “Mobile World Capital Barelona”.<\/p>\n The award ceremony was held at the Barcelona City Hall, in an event attended by Laia Bonet, Deputy Mayor, Eduard Martin, Director of 5G of Mobile World Capital Barcelona, and Ms. Therese Jamaa, General Manager of the GSMA (Mobile World Capital Barcelona), among others.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#ffffff” show_divider=”off” height=”10″ divider_style=”solid” divider_position=”top” hide_on_mobile=”off” _builder_version=”3.9″ \/][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=”2791,2789,2790″ show_title_and_caption=”off” show_pagination=”off” disabled=”off” disabled_on=”|on|” hover_overlay_color=”rgba(255,255,255,0.9)” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” _builder_version=”3.9″ posts_number=”3″ zoom_icon_color=”#d83432″ \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [et_pb_section bb_built=”1″ admin_label=”section” transparent_background=”off” allow_player_pause=”off” inner_shadow=”off” parallax=”off” parallax_method=”off” custom_padding=”0px|||” padding_mobile=”on” make_fullwidth=”off” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”on” make_equal=”off” use_custom_gutter=”off” custom_padding_tablet=”0px|||” prev_background_color=”#000000″ next_background_color=”#000000″][et_pb_row admin_label=”row” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” background_size=”initial”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text text_orientation=”justified” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” _builder_version=”3.9″] The project of the Institute of Robotics for Dependency will use the social robot Misty to provide assistance, support and monitoring to elder people living alone.
