This paper analyzes the galvanic skin response (GSR) recorded from healthy and motor disabled people while steering a robotic wheelchair (RobChair ISR-UC prototype), to infer whether GSR can help in the recognition of stressful situations. Seven heal...
Individuals with neurodegenerative attacks loose the entire motor neuron movements. These conditions affect the individual actions like walking, speaking impairment and totally make the person in to locked in state (LIS). To overcome the miserable co...

OBJECTIVE: To assess the utility of applying natural language processing (NLP) to electronic health records (EHRs) to identify individuals with chronic mobility disability.
The last decade observed a significant research effort directed towards maneuverability and safety of mobile robots such as smart wheelchairs. The conventional electric wheelchair can be equipped with motorized omnidirectional wheels and several sens...
Tips and falls are the most prominent causes of wheelchair accidents that occur when driving on uneven terrains and less accessible environments. The Mobility Enhancement Robotic Wheelchair (MEBot) was designed to improve the stability of Electric Po...
