Abstract

Enabling kitchen safety is crucial for elderly people independent living. Cooking, usually, is accompanied with several risks particularly for elderly people, due to aging associated impairments. Therefore, cooking-safe environment is required to enhance safety of elderly people. This is the motivation behind our research work on building a cooking-safe system. In this paper, we present the fuzzy-logic based reasoning engine used for our cooking-safe system. The reasoning engine manages the detection of risk situations and determines their severity levels according to the contextual information around oven. In this study, we have considered three levels of risk severity based on experimentally determined threshold values.
