Project objectives

The AIDE project has the ambition of strongly contributing to the improvement of user interfaces in the field of technologies for assisting disabled people, through the development and experimental validation of a multimodal, adaptive and modular interface, tailored to the specific needs of the user.ingol user. The project also aims to develop a totally new paradigm of 'shared-control' for assistance devices, capable of integrating both information on the global state of the user (such as identification of residual abilities, behavioral aspects, emotional state) and information related to environmental conditions and contextual factors.

The AIDE system is expected to have a high application potential and that disabled people will be able to benefit from it in various domains, such as communication, home automation, wearable robotics for assistance in daily life activities, entertainment. The validation of the AIDE system will last eight months and will aim to provide a "proof of concept" of the advantages that the system (based on a modular, natural and adaptive multimodal interface and on a 'shared control') is able to offer providing to disabled people assistance tailored to their specific needs.
