This paper describes the motion control system for a powered wheelchair using eye gaze in an unknown environment. Recently, new Human-Computer Interfaces (HCIs) that have replaced joysticks have been developed for a person with a disability of the upper body. In this paper, movement of the eyes is used as an HCI. The wheelchair control system proposed in this study aims to achieve an operation ...

a chaos control method suggested by erjaee has been reviewed. it has been shown that thistechnique can be applied in various evolutionary systems of 2-dimensional types. the method has beenapplied for cases of the henon map, as well as burger’s map. the limitations of the control techniquehave also been discussed by considering the standard map and the gumowski-mira map. the resultsobtained thr...

This paper presents a model for Gesture controlled user interface (GCUI), and identifies trends in technology, application and usability. We present an integrated approach to real time detection, gesture based data glove technique which controls the wheelchair using hand movements. The paper proposed a low-cost and small 3-axis wireless accelerometers based system to control the wheelchair usin...

PURPOSE Among the different resistances occurring during wheelchair locomotion and that limit the user autonomy, bearing resistance is generally neglected, based on a few studies carried out in static conditions and by manufacturer's assertion. Therefore, no special attention is generally paid to the mounting and the maintenance of manual wheelchair bearings. However, the effect of inadequate m...

The scope of nonlicensed vehicles includes electrically powered wheelchairs, golf-cart-type vehicles, a variety of multifunctional devices, and some gasoline-engine-powered vehicles . Until several years ago, the standard nonlicensed powered vehicle was the Everest & Jennings "34" Power Drive Wheelchair (Fig . 1) . This unit has been directed to institutions and general indoor environments wher...

Abstract With an increase in the number of handicapped persons, there is a growing demand for human-friendly interface as mobility aids. To meet this need, we have developed two interfaces with using shoulder and head motion for powered wheelchair control. To acquire proper wheelchair control instruction signal, workspaces of shoulder and head are analyzed by magnetic position sensor. Two inter...
