A head tilt controller has been used to help quadriplegics and paralyzed patient to control an electrical wheelchair by head movement instead of using the conventional joystick control. In this paper, several functions for improving the performance of the head tilt controller have been proposed. Command confirmation function has been used to remove the effect of involuntary head motion between stop...
In this research, the development and testing of an intelligent wheelchair controller are presented. The system has been designed to help disabled and quadriplegic patients who have lost the ability to control their upper and lower limbs to use an electrical wheelchair without using joystick controller. The controller includes two sub-controllers operating in parallel which are voice and head tilts...
Wheelchair controller selection is very important for users or patients with disabilities like quadriplegia, paralyzed, amputee and elderly. The comfort, simplicity, and safe use, directly affect their social efficiency and quality of life. In this paper, the design and test of a new low-cost intelligent wheelchair controller for users with disabilities has been proposed. It consists of two main controllers,...
As quadriplegia patients lost the ability to control the upper and lower limbs due to upper spinal cord injury, they need an intelligent control system to use a traditional electric wheelchair, which is driven normally by a joystick controller. One of the successful control systems for this kind of user is the use of head tilts as a controller. It allows the quadriplegia patient to drive the rehabilitation...
Nowadays, there is a significant increase in the number of older persons in all countries of the world. This segment of society, as well as patients with quadriplegia and amputee's hands, lost the ability to use their arms to control traditional wheelchair which is controlled by Joystick. They need to use special control systems to control robotic-wheelchairs. In this paper, the design and development...
There are many people who have lost the ability to control upper and lower limbs due to quadriplegia, paralyses or ageing side effects. This type of users requires special control systems to use an electrical wheelchair instead of using traditional control by joystick. In this paper a novel auto calibrated head orientation controller for wheelchairs and rehabilitation robotics application is proposed...
People who have lost their walking and moving ability need to use a wheelchair. In cases of losing complete control of the upper and lower limbs, intelligent solutions are required to ensure the autonomy and independence of those patients. The intelligent application must be designed carefully to use the available self-controlled electrical and physical activity of the patient's body like sound, Electromyogram...
