In this paper we present DANAH, an assistive system under development at the Lab-STICC laboratory at the European University of Brittany, in collaboration with the Kerpape center for functional reeducation and readaptation in Lorient. DANAH aims to be an almost all-in-one assistive system (ATS) which combines existing technologies to deliver suitable assistance for the disabled and the elderly. It focuses on both environmental control as well as navigation to help the physically impaired to perform everyday tasks and maintain a reasonable level of autonomy. Moreover, rapid prototyping methods have been introduced to speed up development, reduce costs and enforce ATS adoption.
