A smart wheelchair (SW) is a power wheelchair (PW) to which computers, sensors, and
assistive technology are attached. In the past decade, there has been little effort to provide a …

The paper discusses the potential of assistive service robots to support disabled and elderly
people. It shows that they have considerable untapped potential in this area, but also that …

The field of rehabilitation robotics considers robotic systems that 1) provide therapy for
persons seeking to recover their physical, social, communication, or cognitive function …

This paper presents a multiple-sensors, 3D vision-based, autonomous wheelchair-mounted
robotic manipulator (WMRM). Two 3D sensors were employed: one for object recognition …

A novel technique is implemented for the eye controlled based independent and cost
effective system. The purpose of Eye movement based control electric wheelchair is to …

We studied an anti-collision power wheelchair's ability to enable safe, independent mobility
in nursing home residents with dementia. The device had a contact sensor skirt that …

The previous perception and control system of smart wheelchairs normally doesn't
distinguish different objects and treats all objects as obstacles. Consequently it is hard to …

This paper describes a power assisting control with human following function for robotic
wheelchair. In our past research, visual feedback control of the wheelchair has been …

This paper presents two vision-based interfaces for disabled people to command a mobile
robot for personal assistance. The developed interfaces can be subdivided according to the …

Purpose–The purpose of this paper is to develop an integrated, computer vision-based
system to operate a commercial wheelchair-mounted robotic manipulator (WMRM). In …
