Max (2011) by MetraLabs, Thuringia, Germany. Based on the SCITOS G3, Max is a companion robot developed for long-term assistance at home. It can perform tasks such as user detection and tracking, fall detection, and reminding.
"The Serroga project was the direct evolution of CompanionAble. The robot, Max, provided a new version of Hector, sharing the same base functionalities (i.e., a mobile base with a touch screen). However, this new platform was enhanced by means of an additional RGB-D camera. In addition, in contrast with the aforementioned projects, Serroga augmented experiments in lab-houses with trials in private homes. As in CompanionAble, also in this project the robot acted mainly as a reminder system and as a centralised interface for various communication and measurement systems." – Robots for Elderly Care in the Home: A Landscape Analysis and Co-Design Toolkit, by Gianluca Bardaro, Alessio Antonini, Enrico Motta.
