Abstract:
Many people those using wheelchairs are not able to control an electronic wheelchair with joystick interface. The "iWheel" robotic wheelchair system is a general purpose navigational assistant in environments that are accessible for the disabled (e.g., ramps and doorways of sufficient width to allow a wheelchair to pass). A reactive system does not use maps for navigation. One of the advantages of this strategy is that users can navigate in multiple locations and environments. This report describes indoor navigation in the "iWheel" system; outdoor navigation is currently under development.
