8 december 2005MH Janssen, Technische Universiteit Eindhoven 18 Next week 1. Robotics, home automation and homecare for dwellings (Domotica) Introduction to course and assignments 2. Functionalities installed Functionalities installed in subsidized projects; Reasons for subsidizing; Problems that arose during implementation 3. ICT Infrastructures in the home Current ICT structures; Its usability for different generations; Limitations and capabilities of ICT structures; Future requirements for complex environments 4. Site visit at Rundgraaf Park with Viedome installed Students are requested to use their own transportation to arrive at the Rundgraafpark at H; the tour will end at H 5. Robotics for dwellings and Building Management Systems for Offices Technological and organizational aspects of the two traditions 6. Barriers to mass introduction of home automation and home robotics Home automation and teleservices (including telecare) have not been introduced on a massive scale; Technical, organizational and personal barriers. 7. Building requirements for successful home automation and robotics Building characteristics for adaptive and adaptable dwellings supporting independence up to a high age 8. The near future Short expert introductions and full scale student discussions; What has been achieved? What is still to be done by the building (services) engineer?
