Smart robotic wheelchair has a great significance in life of a disabled person. With several merits, a wheelchair becomes a dilemma for a disabled person when comes to self-propulsion. This project describes an economical solution of robot control systems. The presented wheelchair control system can be used for different sophisticated robotic applications. The automatic robotic wheelchair comprises...
Patients with neurological disorders are often required to cope with off-putting and longer rehabilitation process and some of them become wheelchair users with severe restriction on the arms and hands skill. Many studies have proposed solutions for autonomous or semi-autonomous powered wheelchairs focusing on navigation problems. In this project, we are interested in bringing up a planning shared...
With the accelerating development of aged tendency of population and rapid growth in the number of the disabled caused by diseases or injuries, the wheelchair with good performance for the aged and disabled is attracting the attention from the society. A wheelchair can provide the user with many benefits, such as maintaining mobility, continuing or broadening community and social activities, conserving...
The Indoor Navigation Framework we have proposed allows any wheelchair user to be guided to a desired location on his own, as long as the building itself is adopted to the novel system. Unlike the state of the art, where no automation exists for guiding a wheelchair in modern buildings, this allows the owner of the least sophisticated wheelchair to explore public buildings with more ease than a normal...
The ability to perform activities of daily living and mobility-related activities of daily living are substantial indicators of one's ability to live at home and to participate in one's community. Technologies to assist with mobility and manipulation are among the most important tools that clinicians can provide to people with disabilities to promote independence and community participation. For people...
Assistive technologies to support a self-determined living of elderly people receive growing attention due to the aging populations. In this context robotic and sensorics approaches can balance handicaps to improve safe mobility approaches. By telematic methods health data can be transmitted to enable a continuous monitoring of endangered people in their home or while being on their way. Thus assistant...
