SJTU Summer research internship program
Elderly Care Robot Development and Deployment
Project Description and Objectives:
According to the latest reports, China has 15.8 million residents aged more than 65, and 24.1million aged more than 60 (as of 2017). Its population aging speed is the fastest as before. As the populations grows older, we also see a decrease in young people prepared to take care of the elderly groups. This project is to develop and deploy an elderly care robot that can perform simple service like medicine delivery etc.
Eligibility Requirements:
Basic knowledge of:
> Mechanical engineering
> Programming language
Main Tasks:
> To build a simple “elderly care” scenario using KT board etc.
> To program and practice a brand new service robot.
