Fission Engine for an Ambient Assistance Robot Based on the Ontology Concept

The robotic world is gaining more and more place in our daily life. Nowadays, the robot as an autonomous entity is a common assistance partner. The robot may assist in different ways, as for instance in navigation, in medical exploration or health assistance. The main focus of actual research goals is to introduce a robot as a life partner in the human environment. To do so, the robot must be able to interact with people using the natural human interaction methods. Also, the robot must be able to understand and be understood and provide the service requested by the user. The aim of this research work is to build a multimodal fusion and fission engine using the semantic web. This multimodal system will be applied on a wheelchair with a manipulated arm to help people with disabilities interact with their main tool of movement and their environment. This work focuses on building a multimodal interaction fusion and fission engine to better understand the multimodal inputs using the concept of ontology while taking into consideration the context.
