Sensor Aided Intelligent Wheelchair Navigation

Objetivo

The project will develop a user/market oriented prototype of a sensor aided intelligent wheelchair navigation system using sophisticated risk avoidance algorithms and special sensors and interfaces.

The main objective of this project is to develop a user/market oriented prototype of the proposed, SENsor Aided intelligent wheelchaiR navigatIOn system, using and improving the relevant technology. This wheelchair will allow people with various types of mobility problems (physical and mental) safe and easy mobility in familiar and unfamiliar environments. SENARIO aims to determining user requirements and to innovate and set/support standards in Rehabilitation Technology.

Technical Approach : The SENARIO project is introducing intelligence to the navigation systems of powered wheelchairs, with the help of specifically designed advanced sensors. SENARIO is moving a step beyond AGV (automatic guided vehicle) technology, towards a user oriented approach to autonomous vehicles.

The system will have two modes of operation:

i)Teach mode

The system is taught pre-defined paths based on topographical representation of the vehicle's workspace. The user can select the desired paths in his/her near environment (e.g. home) from a topographical diagram during installation of the system.

ii) Run mode

a. Autonomous Navigation (on pre-defined routes). The user selects a path from the programmable pre-defined paths stored using Teach Mode. The system will execute the selected path, following the trajectory information stored from start to target, and solve the possible collision problems.

b. Semi-Autonomous Navigation (on free routes). The user instructs the system on a free route in a familiar environment. The system guards the surroundings of the vehicle avoiding risk situations, taking actions and/or warning the user depending on the level of risk that the vehicle is facing.

The system consists of five subsystems. The main control of the system is dedicated to a Risk Avoidance subsystem, which includes the central intelligence. Peripheral subsystems, with integrated intelligence, supporting the task of Risk Avoidance. The Risk Avoidance System inputs information from Sensoring and Positioning Subsystems. The Sensoring subsystem will be equipped with ultrasonic, odometer, inclinometer and other type of sensors. The Positioning subsystem solves the initial position problem using a laser range finder system, active or passive beacons. Its action is supplementary to the Sensoring Subsystem. The Control Panel subsystem is dedicated to the user's instructions input, and the Power Control subsystem is responsible for the conversion of the system's instructions to vehicle movements.

Impact and Expected Results : The outcome of the project will be the prototype of the SENsor Aided wheelchaiR navigatIOn system, available for demonstration in familiar environments. SENARIO could be used by persons with a very variety of users - including persons with cognitive impairment with some restrictions on the available modes. The system primarily targets the wheelchair industry. The marketing policy will be focused on support of the M3S bus, thus the product supports all the end-effectors and input devices compatible with the standard. Components of the system could also be commercialised as individual products.
