Reactive Navigation of an Intelligent Robotic Walking Aid
نویسنده
چکیده
This work presents the intelligent walking aid system Care-O-bot. Care-O-bot is the prototype of a multi functional home care system, to be used by elderly people in order to live independently in their homes. In order to enable easy manipulation of the robot platform, the way to use it as a walking aid has been adapted to conventional walking aid systems. The robot drives in reaction to input forces given by the user, for example if the user “pushes” the robot forward, it will start moving in the required direction. As an improvement to conventional walking aid systems, intelligent behaviours, as for example autonomous obstacle avoidance and path planning are included.

Mobile Robot Navigation based on Human Walking Trajectory in Intelligent Space
This paper presents a mobile robot navigation method based on human walking trajectory in intelligent space. Unlike the traditional navigation methods, the proposed method enables the robot to walk a meaningful path, which reflects human activity patterns in daily life. Human walking trajectories are extracted using multiple distributed vision cameras in intelligent space. To group trajectories...
متن کاملA Wheelchair Steered through Voice Commands and Assisted by a Reactive Fuzzy-Logic Controller
This paper describes new results with a Reactive Shared-Control system that enables a semi-autonomous navigation of a wheelchair in unknown and dynamic environments. The purpose of the reactive shared controller is to assist wheelchair users providing an easier and safer navigation. It is designed as a fuzzy-logic controller and follows a behaviour-based architecture. The implemented behaviours...
متن کاملVisual Navigation for Mobile Robots: A Survey
Mobile robot vision-based navigation has been the source of countless research contributions, from the domains of both vision and control. Vision is becoming more and more common in applications such as localization, automatic map construction, autonomous navigation, path following, inspection, monitoring or risky situation detection. This survey presents those pieces of work, from the nineties...

In this paper we present a system that could be used to help people with walking disabilities. A system consists of a prototype mobile robot platform equipped with a control board and a remote computer system, running with image processing algorithms, was used to develop a system for physically disabled human to move freely in an environment. We used a camera to get visual information by a huma...
متن کاملRTCS: a Reactive with Tags Classifier System
In this work, a new Classifier System is proposed (CS). The system, a Reactive with Tags Classifier System (RTCS), is able to take into account environmental situations in intermediate decisions. CSs are special production systems, where conditions and actions are codified in order to learn new rules by means of Genetic Algorithms (GA). The RTCS has been designed to generate sequences of action...
