Research Abstract |
The adequate operation interface and the operation assist function yield the practical running of wheelchair users with great handicap. In this study , we propose the omnidirectional mobile type wheelchair , the middle-wheel drive type one and the front-wheel drive type one with various operation interfaces, furthermore, we investigate the obstacle avoidance function using the potential method and the operation assist function of electric powered wheelchairs autonomously adjusting to the operation ability of users.
