In this study, targeting on the early rehabilitation of handicaps, the life support system termed as REACH: Robotics Enhanced Assistant Conquering Handicaps, is proposed. This system recognizes situation and condition of the handicaps using cameras and RGB-D sensors. Based on the recognition, the system supplies optimum and individual support to each handicap. When the system receives requests of the support via control devices, the requests are converted to commands, which the robots of the system are able to execute. By realizing the commands by robots, the handicaps are supported by the system. In this paper, to simplify the robot of the system, the novel mechanism for controlling the living environment is described.
