Abstract

This paper presents a novel planning approach to assist elders with memory deficit to carry out complex daily activities. The proposed planner uses Markov decision processes (MDPs) in dynamic multi-tasks planning to help memory-impaired elders achieving and finalising their activities of daily living (ADLs) already undertaken. The article also reports empirical results of the experimental validation and discusses distinctions between our approach and related works.
