The i-Walker: an intelligent pedestrian mobility aid
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we focus on the development of an intelligent pedestrian mobility aid that we call i-Walker for elders. This target population includes, but is not limited to, persons with low vision, visual field neglect, spasticity, tremors, and cognitive deficits. SHARE-it will provide an Agent-based Intelligent Decision Support System to aid the elders.

Context-Aware Shared Control of a Robot Mobility Aid for the Elderly Blind
This paper describes the use of a Bayesian network to provide context-aware shared control of a robot mobility aid for the frail blind. The robot mobility aid, PAM-AID, is a “smart walker” that aims to assist the frail and elderly blind to walk safely indoors. The Bayesian network combines user input with high-level information derived from the sensors to provide a context-aware estimate of the...
متن کاملA Robotic Mobility Aid for Frail Visually Impaired People
This paper discusses the design of a smart mobility aid for frail, visuallyimpaired people. The device is based on the concept of a walker or rollator a walking frame with wheels. The device, which is called the PAMAID (Personal Adaptive Mobility Aid) has two modes of operation – manual and assistive. In manual mode the device behaves very much like a normal walker. In assistive mode, the PAMAI...
متن کاملTowards an Intelligent Service to Elders Mobility Using the i-Walker
The SHARE-it architecture is designed to inform and assist the user and his/her caregivers through monitoring and mobility help. Thus, we plan to contribute to the development of the next generation of assistive devices for older persons or people with disabilities so that they can be self-dependent as long as possible. In this paper we focus on the development of an intelligent pedestrian mobi...
متن کاملThe role of i-Walker in post-stroke training
In nowadays aging society, many people require assistance for pedestrian mobility. In some cases, assistive devices require a certain degree of autonomy when the persons’ disabilities difficult manual control. Our aim is to develop an open and innovative reference architecture, based upon ontologies and agent services, that will allow plug and play and cost-effective interconnection of existing...
متن کاملFirst Aid and Transportation in Combat Pre-Hospital Care: Concept Analysis with Walker and Avant Approach
Background and Aim: Pre-hospital care is a multidimensional concept with multiple definitions, but the first aid and transportation concept remains unclear. The aim of this study was to clarify the first aid and transportation concept in pre-hospital combat medical care. Methods: The Walker-Avant approach was used for the analysis of the concept of first aid and transportation. This approach is...
