Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Omnidirectional wheelchair is useful with its high mobility in narrow or crowded area,and omnidirectional wheelchair equipped with normal tires is desired for difference excess, vibration suppression and ride comfort. We developed an effective system to control the caster-drive wheels of omnidirectional wheelchair. Semi-autonomous obstacle avoidance system using laser range data for rider’s safety and power assist system for omnidirectional transport wheelchair considering attendant's manipulability and rider's comfort have been developed. Omnidirectional bed using the caster-dive wheels also has been developed.
