Ambient Assisted Living applications have the potential to support healthy and safe aging at home, alleviating the future demands in healthcare. Many works have addressed the monitoring of an individual at home, however when more than one person is present in the environment, the task is not trivial. This project will investigate the use of both environmental (fixed) sensors and a mobile robot in order to track and monitor the activities of two (possibly more) individuals in the same environment. The result of the project should be a framework for solving the problem as well as a demo/experiment validating the proposed framework.
