Simultaneous Localization and Mapping for a Wheelchair Using Electromiographic Signals

Abstract

The need of human helping robots is imposed by the nowadays trend towards protecting the physically impaired people. New researches in this area have arisen in the past years. In the next few lines an overview of the state of the art in this domain will be made. The main objective in this paper is to demonstrate the simultaneous localization for a wheelchair, using elecromiographic signals. So far the research on robots used for helping disabled people has been focusing mainly on replacing limbs by robotic prosthesis or surgery
