Connected Kitchen is funded by Horizon Digital Economy Research Institute and led by Nik Watson, Associate Professor in Chemical Engineering at the University of Nottingham.

The way one uses a kitchen both shows and affect’s one’s health. When cooking for others, e.g. in a family or commercial kitchen, it also affects others’ health. Connected Kitchen will explore multi-sensor systems that track and model the behaviour of one or more people in kitchen environments to identify behaviours linked to health and safety and explore how the sensing environment interacts with different commonly used products (delivering hybrid-products). Work will involve the  development a prototype adaptive multi-sensor toolkit and user studies will be performed in the living area of Cobot Maker Space prior to deployment in a domestic environment.   

Start date: 31 March 2021 – 30 April 2022
