Abstract

An approach for a Robot Sentinel is described as an alternative to medicinal or physical fixation. The robot offers the opportunity to give the patient some privacy while also offering protection from falling out of bed. This approach is solely based on input data given by a Kinect One. A database with IR data with labels according to the sleep stages of the patient was generated. With given database the presented framework is able to detect the movement of the patient in bed from given input data and therefore warn the staff, if a possible harmful situation occurs. In two different experimental phases the approach could be tested and was able to successfully recognize different sleeping phases of the patient (e.g. unsettled sleep, falling asleep and wakeup phase). An unsettling sleep serves as an indication of waking up and therefore the possible desire of standing up. Recognizing those sleeping phases and counteracting this desire, preserves the patient from falling out of bed and potential injury.
