At present manual and electric wheelchairs are widely used in the market. Manual
wheelchairs rely on other people's or their own power to drive wheelchairs, which consumes …

In this research, we develop a mobile robot by using a DMP (digital motion processor) with a
fusion processor, which comprises a 3-Axis gyroscope and 3-Axis accelerometer. Special …

A differential drives mobile robot is designed and developed for an obstacle-free
environment. Both motors are controlled individually to reach the desired location using …

Service robots have been widely used for supporting the daily life of the elderly and the
disabled. A robotic wheelchair system is a good example of the service robots. In this paper …

This article proposes an autonomous docking control for nonholonomic constrained mobile
robots and applies it to an intelligent mobility device or wheelchair for assisting the user in …

Wheelchair is one of the most important mobility aids for the disabled people and elders. In
