Assistive Robotic Technologies for Next-Generation Smart Wheelchairs: Codesign and Modularity to Improve Users’ Quality of Life
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article describes the robotic assistive technologies developed for users of electrically powered wheelchairs, within framework European Union’s Interreg ADAPT (Assistive Devices Empowering Disabled People Through Robotic Technologies) project. In particular, special attention is devoted to integration advanced sensing modalities and design new shared control algorithms. response clinical needs identified by our medical partners, two novel smart wheelchairs with complementary capabilities a virtual reality (VR)-based wheelchair simulator have been developed. These systems validated via extensive experimental campaigns in France United Kingdom.

like any other learning activity, translation is a problem solving activity which involves executing parallel cognitive processes. the ability to think about these higher processes, plan, organize, monitor and evaluate the most influential executive cognitive processes is what flavell (1975) called “metacognition” which encompasses raising awareness of mental processes as well as using effectiv...
Smart load shedding and distributed generation resources rescheduling to improve distribution system restoration performance
After a permanent fault occurs if it is not possible to supply the load in the network, the optimal load restoration scheme allows the system to restoration the load with the lowest exit cost, the lowest load interruption, and in the shortest possible time. This article introduces a new design called Smart Load Shedding, abbreviated SLS. In the proposed SLS scheme, the types of devices in smart...
