The Power Wheelchair Capable of Autonomous Navigation for Human Bio-Sensor Monitoring

Abstract

The power wheelchair is an important and convenient mobility device. The demand of power wheelchair is increasing for assistance in mobility. In this paper we proposed a robotic wheelchair for mobility aid to reduce the burden from the disabled and can monitors human bio-sensors. The main issue in an autonomous wheelchair is the automatic detection and avoidance of obstacles and going to the pre-designated place. The proposed algorithm detects the obstacles and avoids them to drive the wheelchair to the desired place safely with panning scan from sensors of distance measurement and monitors human bio-sensor for users. By this way, the disabled will not always have to worry about paying deep attention to the surroundings and his path.
