Wheelchair Collision Avoidance: An Application for Differential Games
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper discusses the design of intelligent wheelchairs that avoid obstacles using differential games. Models for similar applications are investigated. Techniques are provided to satisfy multiple performance requirements of the intelligent wheelchair system. Finally, areas of future work are identified.

Obstacle Avoidance Wheelchair System
We present a collision avoidance system for powered wheelchairs used by people with cognitive disabilities. Such systems increase mobility and feelings of independence, thereby enabling reversal of some symptoms of depression and cognitive impairment and improvement of quality of life. We use a novel 3D sensor developed by Canesta Inc. that allows the wheelchair to “see” obstacles, avoid collis...

We present a collision avoidance system for powered wheelchairs used by people with cognitive disabilities. Such systems increase mobility and feelings of independence, thereby enabling reversal of some symptoms of depression and cognitive impairment and improvement of quality of life. Canesta electronic perception technology allows the wheelchair to “see” obstacles, avoid collisions, and sugge...
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 کاملPerformance testing of collision-avoidance system for power wheelchairs.
The Drive-Safe System (DSS) is a collision-avoidance system for power wheelchairs designed to support people with mobility impairments who also have visual, upper-limb, or cognitive impairments. The DSS uses a distributed approach to provide an add-on, shared-control, navigation-assistance solution. In this project, the DSS was tested for engineering goals such as sensor coverage, maximum safe ...
متن کاملUsability testing of multimodal feedback interface and simulated collision-avoidance power wheelchair for long-term-care home residents with cognitive impairments.
Many older adults in long-term-care homes have complex physical and cognitive impairments and have difficulty propelling manual wheelchairs. Power wheelchair use is restricted owing to safety concerns. Power wheelchairs with collision-avoidance features are being developed to enable safe and independent mobility; however, a paucity of information exists on interface features to help users navig...
