Hobbit: Providing Fall Detection and Prevention for the Elderly in the Real World

Figure 13

(a–d) User points to an object on the floor and Hobbit drives to a point from where it can be picked up and moves the arm to a position to grasp it. The object is lifted and the check if grasp was successful is performed: the object is moved forward to check if something has changed at the previous position of the object on the floor. If successful, the object is placed on the tray on top of the robot.
