“…Therefore, integration of the control of both wheelchair and manipulator would be highly desirable in many cases. One way to solve this problem in a more general way is proposed by the draft ISO M3S serial interfacing standard 4,5 for the electric wheelchair environment (or more generally: for the assistive technology environment), developed in a number of European projects under the TIDE and SPRINT Programs. Its potential was clearly demonstrated by integrating devices from different origins in demonstration platforms, including electric wheelchairs, environmental control systems and MANUS manipulators.…”

Realisations and concepts are presented on the control of the MANUS wheelchair-mounted telemanipulator arm by severely disabled persons with few residual functions. Functional aspects are stressed as a basis for technical implementations, with special attention to the ergonomics of interactive control of the manipulator-wheelchair system in unstructured human environments. Adaptability of the control is accentuated, both with respect to abilities and impairments of the individual user and with respect to characteristics of the environment and the task to be executed. Some methods to improve adaptability are discussed, and the need for standard interfacing methods is underlined. Control configurations in actual daily use by persons with different severe disabilities are presented in some detail. A first implementation of integrated chin joystick control of MANUS manipulator and electric wheelchair, in daily use by a person with a C4/C5 spinal cord lesion, is reported as an example.

“…It not only lost the convenience, but also influenced the safety due to its poor communication between modules. In view of this, Europe Union set up a standard − "Multi Master Multi Slave (M3S)" on 1990 [01].The single bus (M3S Bus) can reduce the gradually complicated system of power wheelchair. Through the M3S system, the power wheelchair can be controlled more conveniently and safely.…”

The purpose of this study is to develop a M3S- Based GPS navigation system for power wheelchair. The wheelchair steered with GPS and electronic compass can move automatically toward a specific destination through a GIS-Map in the computer. The topic of this study is to help people with disabilities regain independence of transportation in specific areas of their daily activities. This system is now designed to operate in special locations, for example, campuses or airports. Safety of the system is enhanced according to "M3S", which is an international standard for power wheelchair. In the proposed architecture, modules are easily and securely integrated to the wheelchair, which includes a tele-monitor system implemented with computer network, mobile-phone and physiological sensors. Bio-signals, wheelchair location and other information of the user are acquired by the nursing staff or any other medical personnel by using this system.

“…Due to the rapidly evolving scale and scope of information technology infrastructure and the increasing use of assistive device for speech impaired subject, there is a need to compile and to disseminate new technologies and give current solutions to telephone access problem to AAC users [14][15][16][17]. In particular, the development of AAC in combination with the wireless communication technology will have a significant impact on the lives of the speech-impaired subject in their face-to-face short-range communicate or long range communication via public com munication system.…”

munication devices, such as communication boards or electronic or compute-based alternative communication devices, also often referred to as augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices, to produce speech-like sound for the individual. Compared to conventional assistive device using the symbols or graphics-like language, microprocessor-based communication boards with individual-tailored switches or keyboards have been better developed for special education teacher or speech therapist [4][5]. The disabled person would point to a symbolic icon or switches for "speaking out" a word or phase in order to communicate with a person. For example, an AAC translator can convert a "drink" icon followed by "yes" icon to express "I want -14-ABSTRACT Wireless telecommunications holds particular promise for people with speech impairment because it can provide convenience for communication and enhanceuser s mobility. However, people with speech impairments are likely to also have varied movement disorders which result in the inability to use the existing voice telephone facility. The aim of this research is to extend the current augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) system to wireless telecommunication service for speech-impaired subjects. A pocket personal computer (PPC) with wireless modules is adopted herein, that can be functioned as a portable AAC device, voice pager within a range, and mobile phone. The touch screen of PPC with designed graphics icon can be served as large buttons to activate the high-fidelity sound that is in turns sent to the wireless modules for "talking" through the phone. An AAC layout editor is used to link the pre-recorded sound to the graphics icon and to compile the icon-based graphics for each individual. In addition, levels of dynamic linkages, including script-based, category of use, semantic linkage, and frequency of use are implemented for assisting the speech impairment user to retrieve these pre-stored conversational items which can speed up the communication rate.
