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

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...
