The Design of the Smart Wheelchair Component System
Conference Paper, Proceedings of 26th Annual Rehabilitation Engineering Conference (RESNA '03), June, 2003
Abstract
A Smart Wheelchair Component System has been developed to assist in obstacle avoidance. The system's modular design does not require major alterations to the wheelchair. The system allows a wheelchair to approach within 10.4 cm of an object while preventing collisions. During autonomous wheelchair movement, the system experienced seven collisions in 91.5 hours of testing.
