Abstract

Over the past years, ambient intelligence has infiltrated our lives through various home applications, enabled by the decreasing size and cost of computing technology. While in transport or industry, its presence has become second nature; some areas, such as our bedroom, have remained fairly untouched. Since our bedroom hosts the beginning and end of our daily activities, it needs to assist us in the recovery and preparation of daily activities. Therefore, it holds an enormous opportunity for AI applications, which do exactly what is needed: sensibly assist the user, learn his preferences, and react to his/her mood and needs. This chapter outlines the different ways of assisting the user in his/her intelligent bedroom: ways to monitor health, improve both physical and mental recovery during the night by automatically optimising the environment, as well as automate a number of tedious tasks that reoccur at every start and end of the day.
