Abstract :
Today a general need for robots assisting different human activities rises. The goal of the present project is to develop a general purpose data collector framework, which provides facilities for attaching and fitting different kinds of sensors and actuators. This general purpose framework provides an easy way to turn a general purpose robot into a special function one. The final concrete goal of the present development is to develop an autonomous robot assisting clinical patients and/or elderly persons. The work is going on towards the next phase, when the collector framework will be attached to a medical robot. The presented framework will handle the sensors and the motion of the medical robot it will be attach to an iRobot or a same instrument. Furthermore, users and developers can apply the framework several other implementations.
