In the era of information technology, the elderly and disabled can be monitored with numerous intelligent devices. Sensors can be implanted into their home for continuous mobility assistance and non-obtrusive disease prevention. Modern sensor-embedded houses, or smart houses, cannot only assist people with reduced physical functions but help resolve the social isolation they face. They are capable of providing assistance without limiting or disturbing the resident's daily routine, giving him or her greater comfort, pleasure, and well-being. This article presents an international selection of leading smart home projects, as well as the associated technologies of wearable/implantable monitoring systems and assistive robotics. The latter are often designed as components of the larger smart home environment. The paper will conclude by discussing future challenges of the domain.
在信息技术时代，可以使用众多智能设备对老年人和残疾人进行监测。传感器可以植入他们家中，以提供持续的移动辅助并进行无干扰的疾病预防。现代的嵌入式传感器房屋，即智能家居，不仅可以帮助身体机能下降的人，还能帮助解决他们面临的社会隔离问题。它们能够在不限制或干扰居民日常生活的情况下提供帮助，给予居民更大的舒适感、愉悦感和幸福感。本文介绍了一些国际领先的智能家居项目，以及可穿戴/植入式监测系统和辅助机器人的相关技术。后者通常被设计为更大的智能家居环境的组成部分。本文将通过讨论该领域未来的挑战来得出结论。
