Automated Audio Data Monitoring for a Social Robot in Ambient Assisted Living Environments

Human life expectancy has steadily grown over the last century, which has driven governments and institutions to increase the efforts on caring about the eldest segment of the population. Although this concern was initially addressed by building larger hospitals and retirement homes, these facilitie...
