Wheelesley: A Robotic Wheelchair System: Indoor Navigation and User Interface
نویسنده
چکیده
Many people in wheelchairs are unable to control a powered wheelchair with the standard joystick interface. A robotic wheelchair can provide users with driving assistance, taking over low-level navigation to allow its user to travel efficiently and with greater ease. Our robotic wheelchair system, Wheelesley, consists of a standard powered wheelchair with an on-board computer, sensors and a graphical user interface. This paper describes the indoor navigation system and the customizable user

Shared user-computer control of a robotic wheelchair system
An assistive robotic wheelchair system should allow its user to travel more efficiently and with greater ease. The robotic wheelchair system described in this thesis, Wheelesley, performs semi-autonomous navigation for its user, taking high-level directional commands and performing the low-level navigation required to avoid obstacles and stay on a safe path. The system consists of a standard el...
متن کاملDevelopment of Outdoor Navigation for a Robotic Wheelchair System
The goal of this research is the creation of a complete robotic wheelchair system to be used by people unable to drive standard powered wheelchairs. A complete robotic wheelchair system must be able to navigate indoor and outdoor environments and should switch automatically between navigation modes. For the system to be useful, it must be easily customized for the specific access methods requir...
متن کاملDriver Performance Using Single Switch Scanning with a Powered Wheelchair: Robotic Assisted Control versus Traditional Control
Single switch scanning is the access method of last resort for powered wheelchairs, primarily because drift is a significant problem. To correct a drift to the left or the right, the user must stop going forward, wait for the scanning device to get to the arrow for the direction of choice, click to turn the chair, stop turning, wait to scan to forward and then click to move forward again. Robot...
متن کاملdesigning and implementing a 3D indoor navigation web application
During the recent years, the need arises for indoor navigation systems for guidance of a client in natural hazards and fire, due to the fact that human settlements have been complicating. This research paper aims to design and implement a visual indoor navigation web application. The designed system processes CityGML data model automatically and then, extracts semantic, topologic and geometric...
متن کاملUser-Tailored Shared Autonomy by a Robotic Wheelchair with Multimodal Interface
The aim of this research consists in the development of an autonomous wheelchair capable to avoid obstacles, self-localize and explore indoor environments in a safe way. To meet disabled people requirements, we have designed the user interface to the autonomous wheelchair in such a way that it can be simply modified and adapted to the users needs. In particular, the user has the opportunity to ...
