The percentage of people over 65 years is expected to increase in Europe from 16% in 2000 to 28% in 2050. The aim of Ambient
Assisted Living (AAL) solutions is to ``extend the time during which elderly people can live independently in their preferred
environment with the support of Information and Communications Technology''. AAL technology should not over- or underchallenge
the user, and therefore provide the level of support needed, but not more. As the needs and capabilities of users change,
the support required varies over time. Adaptivity is a therefore a necessary feature of any assistive environment or device.
The German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI-Lab Bremen) and the University of Bremen are currently cooperating
in several projects related to developing adaptive AAL technology for the elderly. In this paper, we give an integrated high-level
overview of these ongoing projects. First, we present methods for determining the right level of support on different time-scales.
Then, we describe how the required adaptations are (or will be) achieved with respect to the user’s mobility (intelligent
robotic wheelchairs and walkers), the interaction (multi-modal interfaces), and the environment (adaptive furniture and ambient
intelligence).
