SWADAPT2: benefits of a collision avoidance assistance for powered wheelchair users in driving difficulty.
Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
Sep 8, 2023
PURPOSE: In France, tens of thousands of people use a wheelchair. Driving powered wheelchairs (PWCs) present risks for users and their families. The risk of collision in PWC driver increases with severity of disability and may reduce their independen...
Eye-Gaze Controlled Wheelchair Based on Deep Learning.
Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Jul 7, 2023
In this paper, we design a technologically intelligent wheelchair with eye-movement control for patients with ALS in a natural environment. The system consists of an electric wheelchair, a vision system, a two-dimensional robotic arm, and a main cont...
Low Cost Magnetic Field Control for Disabled People.
Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Jan 16, 2023
Our research presents a cost-effective navigation system for electric wheelchairs that utilizes the tongue as a human-machine interface (HMI) for disabled individuals. The user controls the movement of the wheelchair by wearing a small neodymium magn...
