Care-O-bot® is the product vision of a mobile service robot to assist humans in their daily life developed at Fraunhofer IPA. As an interactive butler, it is able to move reliably among humans, to detect and grasp typical household objects, and to safely exchange them with humans. At the same time it can be used to support communication with family members or a service centre, e.g. in case of an emergency. They also have the possibility to remote control the robot. This extends its abilities, e.g. when dealing with tasks that the robot isn’t able to solve autonomously.

Care-O-bot 3 and CASERO

Target of the WiMi-Care Project was the design of application scenarios for service robots to support the staff of residential care facilities.
