Fall Detector Implementation in a Robot Service

In recent years, the number of older people is increasing rapidly. Therefore, a lot of elderlies have to be monitored by their family. Unfortunately, not all of the family members are available to pay attention to them directly because of a lot of reasons such as work or study. Hence, we propose a system that can be used to monitor the elderly's status remotely with an integrated system between robot and wearable devices. Besides monitoring, the system can do some early prevention about risky situations that may be occurring in elder condition. The system originally has two main components, the wearable (device to analyze the condition or as a trigger) and the robot. The wearable device is equipped with some sensors that can analyze the human's vital sign as a condition for elderly. The main function of the robot is to come to elder whenever the critical event is triggered and taking the picture of it in panorama view than send it as a notification for the family through messenger system. Our fall detector system can detect the "fall" event from volunteer's wearable device and send the notification through a messenger as a personal chat or group chat. This research demonstrated that this system can be used in the real life and in the future as a monitoring system to the elderly people. It can be used by either family as a personal usage or doctor from to monitor elderly's condition through the internet connection.
