Fall Risk Reduction for the Elderly by Using Mobile Robots Based on Deep Reinforcement Learning

Slip-induced fall is one of the main factors causing serious fracture injuries among the elderly. In this paper, we propose a fall risk reduction measures for the elderly, based on deep reinforcement learning using mobile assistant robots. Our method involves online real-time risk analysis and risk...
