Intelligent Control Wheelchair Using a New Visual Joystick

Intelligent Control Wheelchair Using a New Visual Joystick

A new control system of a hand gesture-controlled wheelchair (EWC) is proposed. This smart control device is suitable for a large number of patients who cannot manipulate a standard joystick wheelchair. The movement control system uses a camera fixed on the wheelchair. The patient's hand movements are recognized using a visual recognition algorithm and artificial intelligence software; the deri...

Improvement of a Joystick Controller for Electric Wheelchair User

The electric wheelchair is an effective machine for people with lower limb disability. The user controls the wheelchair by a joystick that helps the user to navigate the wheelchair along the desired path. Suppose the user on the wheelchair wants to operate the computer for his jobs or enjoyment, it is preferable for the user to be able to operate the computer without transferring from the wheel...

Measuring Human Response to a Visual Stimulus Using a Joystick

Measuring the human response to a visual stimulus is the next necessary step for future flight simulator testing. Two different methods: an identification algorithm, designed by the authors; and a simulation system MATLAB add on System Identification Toolbox, were used. The results from both methods, i.e. the individual parameters of the transfer function for the pilot behaviour model, were pra...

C3A: A Cognitive Collaborative Control Architecture For an Intelligent Wheelchair

Retention of residual skills for persons who partially lose their cognitive or physical ability is of utmost importance. Research is focused on developing systems that provide need-based assistance for retention of such residual skills. This paper describes a novel cognitive collaborative control architecture CA, designed to address the challenges of developing needbased assistance for wheelcha...
