  7. TAO-1 Intelligent WheelchairMain characteristics • Infared and bump sensors • Automatic visual avoidance • Voice command response • Collision avoidance • Passage through a narrow corridor • Entry through a narrow doorway • Landmark based navigation

  8. TinMan intelligent wheelchair controllerMain characteristics • KISS Institute for Practical Robotics (KIPR) • supplemental wheelchair controller that can be retrofitted to existing wheelchairs • safely and independently operation a powered wheelchair by users who has partial visual impairment or brain damage, • sensors for obstacles detection

  9. TinMan intelligent wheelchair controller(continue)

  10. Light guidance system Dohi Lab

  11. Autonomous guided wheelchair Nagasaki University and Ube Technical College • uses existing ceiling lights • vision sensor (position) • azimuth sensor (orientation) • wheels angle rotation sensor (odometric information) • laser range sensor (obstacles detection) • position error: 0.35 m; • angular error: 17 degrees

  12. MAid project Research Institute for Applied Knowledge Processing FAW • robotic wheelchair for transport of elderly • semi-autonomous mode • autonomous mode • wheel encoders • fiber-optic gyroscope • sonar system • infrared sensors SICK

  13. Wheelesley Intelligent wheelchair

  14. Wheelesley(continue) • started at Wellesley College in 1995 (Holly Yanco) • Developed at the KISS Institute • moved to the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory • interface EagleEyes system (EOG - electro-oculographic potential)

  15. Wheelesley EagleEyes system

  16. NavChairUniversity of Michigan

  17. NavChair(continue) • University of Michigan (Simon Levine, Johann Borenstein) • obstacle avoidance, follow walls • narrow doorway passage
