Abstract
Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) is trying to respond to the ageing process of the population, aiming at the extension of the time in which older people can live in their home environment and giving support to them and to their families. This paper highlights the importance of Artificial Intelligence to provide intelligent and adaptive solutions to assist an elderly patient with his daily activities, while his health conditions are monitored, in order to ensure his security. Thus a Multi-Agent architecture, based on Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) paradigm, is proposed, modelling an AAL system. The adoption of BDI paradigm tries to represent the behaviours and the tasks of a human caregiver. The paper presents a software implementation of the proposed architecture: the Virtual Carer. By means of a simulation scenario, the main features and capabilities of the system are shownI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
