GEWOS - Gesund Wohnen mit Stil
Main objective of the consortium is to develop a Chair (seat) that is equipped with
invisible but sophisticated sensor technology that measures a multitude of user vital
signs. The following sensor systems are embedded:
▪ ECG Module: retrieves the heart rate variability
▪ SPO2 Module: monitors blood pressure and oxygen saturation of the blood via
infrared
▪ Module for measuring activity: sensor system for measuring activity of the
user on the Chair and in the vicinity of the Chair
▪ Module for weight measurement: measures weight and weight distribution on
the Chair
This inconspicuously and at first glance invisibly integrated sensor modules form
the basis for professional activity and sports concepts, health assistance, business
and service concepts that are delivered as “services” through the Chair and its
interface to the users, which through the sensor systems actually becomes part of
the system. Therefore GEWOS considers the sensor Chair as a socio-technical system,
consisting of an innovative Chair (with sensor-actor-systems), an internetbased
platform, an interface component, and further interaction elements and
matching services. By encouraging movement and supporting further constitutional
methods, this system serves as a health promotion, embedded in the physical
and emotional surrounding of the user.
Construction Robotics Laboratory/Teleconstruction Site
Prof. Bock is involved in more than 10 flexible prefabrication systems, 50 individual
construction robot systems, 30 automated building construction and deconstruction
(urban mining) sites, predominantly in Japan, Singapore, USA, France,
Germany, Netherlands and Scandinavia. Since 1990, a multitude of automated
high-rise sites have been operated by various Japanese companies in Asia. Also
in European construction firms flexible site-automation systems have adopted
nowadays.
Most of these achievements were obtained by highly experimental research
approaches. Therefore the Construction Robotics Laboratory and the Teleconstruction
Site in Garching are designed as an experimenting laboratory, i.e. an
“Incubator”. Incubators are used in innovation science and the R&D-industry
to specifically generate inventions or to systemise the invention process. In the
Construction Robotics Laboratory students and researchers can experiment with
robotic systems and mechatronics in the field of building production and Ambient
Assisted Living (AAL). The Construction Robotics Laboratory provides a fully
equipped mechatronics workshop and supervision by the chair staff. While in
many projects simple design models are having priority, in the Construction
Robotics Laboratory more complex functional demonstrators or experimental
superstructures are implemented. The scale of the implementation is task-related.
The Construction Robotics Laboratory imparts basics of the systematic development
of demonstrators.
The “One to One scale” robotically fabricated components can be further verified
on the Teleconstruction Site thus closing the research and development value
chain.
