Obstacle Avoidance Wheelchair System
We present a collision avoidance system for powered wheelchairs used by people with cognitive disabilities. Such systems increase mobility and feelings of independence, thereby enabling reversal of some symptoms of depression and cognitive impairment and improvement of quality of life. We use a novel 3D sensor developed by Canesta Inc. that allows the wheelchair to “see” obstacles, avoid collis...
متن کاملAn Intelligent Powered Wheelchair for Users with Dementia: Case Studies with NOAH (Navigation and Obstacle Avoidance Help)
Intelligent wheelchairs can help increase independent mobility for elderly residents with cognitive impairment, who are currently excluded from the use of powered wheelchairs. This paper presents three case studies, demonstrating the efficacy of the NOAH (Navigation and Obstacle Avoidance Help) system. The findings reported can be used to refine our understanding of user needs and help identify...
متن کاملNOAH for Wheelchair Users with Cognitive Impairment: Navigation and Obstacle Avoidance Help
Cognitive impairments prevent older adults from using powered wheelchairs due to safety concerns, thus reducing their mobility and resulting in increased dependence on caregivers. An intelligent powered wheelchair is proposed to help restore mobility, while ensuring safety. Machine vision and learning techniques are described to help prevent collisions with obstacles, and provide reminders and ...
