چکیده

Electric-powered wheelchairs improve the mobility of people with physical disabilities, but the problem to deal with certain architectural barriers has not been resolved satisfactorily. In order to solve this problem, a stair-climbing mobility system (SCMS) was developed. This paper presents a practical dynamic control system that allows the SCMS to exhibit a successful climbing process when faced with typical architectural barriers such as curbs, ramps, or staircases. The implemented control system depicts high simplicity, computational efficiency, and the possibility of an easy implementation in a microprocessor-/microcontrollerbased system. Finally, experiments are included to support theoretical results.

Modeling and Simulation of Humanoid Stair Climbing

In this paper, a dynamic humanoid with a stair case model is designed to achieve a dynamically stable stair climbing gait pattern, and sequences of stair climbing locomotion analysis (weight acceptance, pull up, forward continuance, foot clearance and foot placement) are presented. A suitable trajectory control strategy is developed for the lower limb’s joints (hips, knees, ankles) during stair...
