With the increasing demand in home-care service to provide early intervention at the homes of seniors suffering from early stage dementia, the Smart Teddy prototype offers a technological solution to disburden caregivers, to promote and track the health and conditions of the senior and to prolong their independent life at home. The Smart Teddy is a project founded in 2018 by a research team of the Hague University of Applied Sciences. It is an interactive, companion robot - disguised as a toy dog - that serves as a therapeutic promoter while simultaneously monitoring the quality of life of the senior with pre-determined indicators. It consists of a Teddy to provide the interaction with the user and a Base Station for data processing and charging of the mount-in battery of the Teddy. The Power Operations and Distribution group carried out research on and developed suitable solutions to supply power to the Teddy with rechargeable batteries, to integrate controlled wireless charging of the battery for user-friendliness and to provide a streamlined power distribution throughout the Smart Teddy’s system. Based on an iterated program of requirements and a power budget analysis on the set of installed electronics, a design is implemented for the power system of the Smart Teddy. A design sequence is followed consisting of four stages: (1) battery selection, (2) charger selection, (3) power conversion and distribution, and (4) safety and failure protection. A power system is developed for the Smart Teddy that is able to supply power with lithium-ion batteries with a battery life of at least 12 hours providing a battery capacity of 25.16 Wh. Thereafter, the installed batteries located in the Teddy can be charged wirelessly by placing the Teddy on the Base Station (a dog bed) to reinforce the less robot-like and a more natural look of the Teddy. Furthermore, this system ensures that all electronic modules with different operating voltages and current draws are provided with the necessary power specifications through power-sharing paths and the usage of power converters. Lastly, safety measures and failure protection methods are developed to ensure the safety of the user through the usage of fuses, switches and, cable and PCB management. The design has been verified using the appropriate verification methods where the program of requirements is used as a guideline and assessment tool. The Power Operations and Distribution is largely complying with the program of requirements and is performing according to the predetermined functionalities. Consequently, the power system of the Smart Teddy is integrated in a real, spatial prototype, namely in a toy dog (the Teddy) and its dog bed (the Base Station).
