Explaining the Unique Behavioral Characteristics of Elderly and Adults Based on Deep Learning

In modern society, the population has been aging as the lifespan has increased owing to the advancement in medical technologies. This could pose a threat to the economic system and, in serious cases, to the ethics regarding the socially-weak elderly. An analysis of the behavioral characteristics of...

This could pose a threat to the economic system and, in serious cases, to the ethics regarding the socially-weak elderly. An analysis of the behavioral characteristics of the elderly and young adults based on their physical conditions enables silver robots to provide customized services for the elderly to counter aging society problems, laying the groundwork for improving elderly welfare systems and automating elderly care systems.
