Abstract
This paper describes the multimodal user interface (UI) of an affordable assistive robot for older persons developed within the FP7 HOBBIT project. Similar approaches are briefly outlined and discussed to identify similarities and differences with regard to the UI domain. The paper describes how the developed UI enhances user interaction based on the use of available information and simple principles for a broad range of use. Some results from the user trials with first prototype in 3 countries and 49 users are outlined. Several UI related improvements are currently under development. The UI approach so far seems promising and the consortium is working towards improvements for the upcoming final HOBBIT prototype and the trials in users' homes. © 2014 Springer International Publishing.
