Description:
Proposed AAL taxonomy, or AAL functional services classification
Overview:
This classification distinguishes itself from others in that it categorises AAL systems in a top-down fashion, with the most important categories placed immediately to the left.
Objectives:
identified four top-level categories under which all systems could be accommodated: smart homes, intelligent life assistants, wearables, and robotics. Taking these four pillars as the core categories of our framework, this paper systematically places each system within a sub-category, where the primary function of each is comparative. Current AAL system research is diverse. It addresses the specific aspects of assistive living technologies, health monitoring needs, or offers robotic assistance, in the absence of a clear taxonomy within which each system could be adequately compared.
Initiatives:
The creation of this framework offers a template for system categorisation, thereby providing a referral point for researchers and possibly a structure around which a set of metrics could be formulated, against which each system could be compared for category inclusion.
