Z. 7 Some Issues for Futuristic Intelligent Robotic House Model A research trend in the smart house design is concerned with the futuristic residential space equipped with advanced monitoring system that observes not only the physical status of the inhabitants but also their behavior and emotional condition. It is also expected that one of the biggest reforms in the home arrangement will be the implementation of various service robots that help the inhabitants in many ways. Actions of the RR will be matched with the operation of other home-installed devices.
Regenesis workstation This was the approach taken at the Neil Squire Foundation in designing their Regenesis manipulator (Fig. 3) [3] to best suit the environment and tasks. Their manipulator was based on a horizontal beam, around which an extending arm could translate and rotate. This gave access to a large working volume and could be mounted at the back of a desk, or across a bed for example. This device was, for a while, made commercially available. 2 Rehabilitation Robotics from Past to Present – A Historical Perspective 31 Fig.
