Abstract
In this thesis the research on the design of an intelligent monitoring system to support
people with a mental disability with their daily life routines is described. The focus has
been on the automatic classification of preparing a bottle for a child. Relevant data was
needed for classification, which was not yet available. We therefore built a test environment,
consisting of different electronic devices and other objects used when preparing a
bottle. These objects were equipped with sensors to detect when the objects were used.
We asked subjects to perform several tasks in this test environment. A software platform
was built to handle these data from the experiments. Different classification algorithms
were tested on these data. The results showed that in 90% of the cases the tasks were
correctly classified by the Support Vector Machine algorithm.
