Intelligent Wheelchair

Various assistants for wheelchairs are developed to compensate for diminishing physical and cognitive faculties:

• The Safety Assistant brakes in time

• The Driving Assistant avoids obstacles and facilitates passing through a door

• The Autonomous Navigation Assistant autonomously finds a way to a target

The wheelchair can be controlled using a classical joystick as well as using the new head joystick.

The power wheelchair is equipped with odometers to measure the rotation of the drive wheels, a small computer, and two laser scanners. The laser scanners are mounted in the back of the wheelchair and in the front behind the footrests. They measure the distances to the closest obstacles at a height of 12 cm. The intelligent wheelchair is based on the wheelchair model Xeno manufactured by the German company Otto Bock Mobility Solutions.
