abstract = { 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). },
