HoLLiE - The Service Robot of FZI
From: Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres - 02/24/2012

Providing persons, who are in need of care, with food and medicine, joining
interactive sports games, offering entertainment, or guiding visitors – the
applications of HoLLIE are manifold. The agile, two-armed service robot can
be used flexibly in apartments and links robotics, ambient assisted living,
and mobility services at FZI. At the CeBIT, HoLLiE (House of Living Labs
intelligent Escort) will show how it intuitively interacts with people.
Thanks to a modern 3D sensor system, HoLLiE can understand the body movement
of its counterpart. In the scenario presented, HoLLiE asks its counterpart to
do some sports together in order to remain in good shape. This function may
be of therapeutic value to elderly people or people in need of care, but also
serve to entertain everybody regardless of age.
