Robotic Wheelchair Moving Alongside a Companion
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce a robotic wheelchair that can move with a companion collaboratively to facilitate easy communication between them. The system uses the Laser Range Sensor attached horizontally on the companion’s shoulder level for observing the companion’s position to follow him/her. The system tracks the companion’s position and orientation to move with the companion and to avoid collision with him/her. Keywords— Robotic wheelchair, human tracking, laser range

Semi-autonomous Navigation of a Robotic Wheelchair
The present work considers the development of a wheelchair for people with special needs, which is capable of navigating semi-autonomously within its workspace. This system is expected to prove useful to people with impaired mobility and limited fine motor control of the upper extremities. Among the implemented behaviors of this robotic system are the avoidance of obstacles, the motion in the m...
متن کاملOn a Moving Base Robotic Manipulator Dynamics
There are many occasions where the base of a robotic manipulator is attached to a moving platform, such as on a moving ship, terrain or space shuttle. In this paper a dynamic model of a robotic manipulator mounted on a moving base is derived using both Newton-Euler and Lagrange-Euler methods. The presented models are simulated for a Mitsubishi PA10-6CE robotic manipulator characteristics mounte...

A spatial parallel mechanism namely 3-RRS mechanism has been assigned to be attached to the seat of a standard electric wheelchair to prevent the turning over of the handicapped sitting on the wheelchair. The system of the wheelchair and the mechanism is a self-balancing robotic wheelchair and has coped with several road conditions. A stability control system calculates the proper moments on th...

In this paper we describe the hardware design and the control, and navigation system of our robotic wheelchair MAid (Mobility Aid for Elderly and Disabled People). Following the advice of disabled people and physicians we did not set out to re-invent and redevelop the set of standard skills of so-called intelligent wheelchairs , such as FollowWall, FollowCorridor, PassDoorway, which are commonl...
متن کاملOn Climbing Winding Stairs for a Robotic Wheelchair
In this paper motion analysis on a winding stair-climbing is investigated using our proposed rotational arm type of robotic wheelchair. For now, the robotic wheelchair is operated in an open mode to climb winding stairs by a dynamic turning, therefore, the dynamics model is required to ensure a passenger’s safety. Equations of motion based on the skid-steering analysis are developed for the tra...
