Robot navigation in the presence of humans raises new issues for motion planning and
control when the humans must be taken explicitly into account. We claim that a human …

This paper proposes an adaptive controller to guide an unicycle-like mobile robot during
trajectory tracking. Initially, the desired values of the linear and angular velocities are …

Purpose–This paper presents a novel hands‐free control system for intelligent wheelchairs
(IWs) based on visual recognition of head gestures. Design/methodology/approach–A …

Nearly five million individuals in the US have limited arm and hand movement, making it
difficult or impossible for them to use computers and products with embedded computers …

Controlling a robotic device by using human brain signals is an interesting and challenging
task. The device may be complicated to control and the nonstationary nature of the brain …

Robot navigation in the presence of humans raises new issues for motion planning and
control since the humans safety and comfort must be taken explicitly into account. We claim …

As robots enter the human environment and come into contact with inexperienced users,
they need to be able to interact with users in a multimodal fashion—keyboard and mouse …

Shared control is a strategy used in assistive platforms to combine human and robot orders
to achieve a goal. Collaborative control is a specific shared control approach, in which user's …

In todays aging society, many people require mobility assistance, that can be provided by
robotized assistive wheelchairs with a certain degree of autonomy when manual control is …

In this paper, the implementation of assistance to the driving of a smart wheelchair through a
deictic approach is described. Initially, a state of the art of mobility assistance, interfaces and …
