The objective of this project is to build a kind of robot companion for old people feeling alone.

  1. Sensors can detect human presence, temperature/pression/humidity, light
  1. A lot of voice messages are loaded in the DFPlayer to talk to the senior people and to a google (or any other) assistant to trigger actions such as "good morning", news, weather forecast, lotery result, connected plug for light, ... You can use a tool to transform your voice in a "robot like" voice to make it more funny.
  1. the ESP32 is connected to the internet to get the date and time and send a daily email + whatsapp alert if the senior is not up at 10 AM.

You can embedd this in any box or, better, in a funny 3D printed robot.

My 90 years old mother really enjoys !

EXPANDED TECHNICAL DETAILS

Assistive Eldercare Robotics

This project creates a "Smart Companion" device designed to help elderly users manage their daily medications and alert family members in emergencies.

  • Pill Schedule Engine: Programmed with a custom schedule for different medications. At the required time, the Arduino sounds a gentle melody and flashes a bright LED, while displaying instructions (e.g., "Take Red Pill") on a large 20x4 LCD.
  • One-Touch Emergency SOS: Features a large, high-contrast Red button. When pressed, the Arduino uses an ESP8266 or GSM module to send an instant "Emergency Alert" message with a timestamp to the family's smartphones.

Safety Features

  • Fall Detection Hub: (Advanced version) Integrates an MPU-6050 accelerometer; if a sudden "Impact" followed by lack of movement is detected, the companion automatically triggers the SOS sequence.
