Supporting People with Modern Electronics and IT
Making everyday life easier: Smart home applications make life easier and more convenient, assistive technologies make everyday life easier for people with disabilities. Students learn how to independently develop, network and integrate the embedded systems required for both fields – from lighting control to voice control. The focus is always on people, and technology is subordinated to their needs. Assistive technologies support people with special needs as well as elderly people and allow them to achieve a high degree of autonomy in everyday life. An integral core aspect of assistive technologies is smart homes, i.e. the intelligent automation of people’s immediate living environment. Smart homes include control and regulation tasks in the areas of lighting, shading and air conditioning.
