Development and Testing of Intelligent Wheelchair Controller for Quadriplegic Patients
In this research paper, the development and evaluating of a smart controller for electrical powered wheelchairs are presented. The controller aimed to assist quadriplegic, paralyzed, and handicap patients who cannot use their hands to drive an electrical wheelchair by using a joystick controller. Two sub control units have been combined in one hybrid system to…
Read More A Secure Automated Elevator Management System and Pressure Sensor based Floor Estimation for Indoor Mobile Robot Transportation
In this paper, a secure elevator handling system is presented to enable a flexible movement of wheeled mobile robots among laboratories distributed in different floors. The automated handling system consists mainly of an ADAM module which has the ability to call the elevator to the robot’s current floor and to request the destination floor. The…
Read More Grasping and Placing Operation for Labware Transportation in Life Science Laboratories using Mobile Robots
In automated working environments, mobile robots can be used for different purposes such as material handling, domestic services, and objects transportation. This work presents a grasping and placing operation for multiple labware and tube racks in life science laboratories using the H20 mobile robots. The H20 robot has dual arms where each arm consists of…
Read More Recognition and Position Estimation for Multiple Labware Transportation Using Kinect V2 and Mobile Robots
Mobile robots can be used to perform transportation tasks for different objects. These tasks have to be implemented carefully. Therefore, an accurate approach for object recognition and position estimation is required. This work presents a concept for identification and position estimation of multiple labware. These labware, which contain chemical and biological components, have to be…
Read More Low-cost Hybrid Wheelchair Controller for Quadriplegias and Paralysis Patients
Wheelchair controller design is very important for handicapped users such as quadriplegia, amputee, paralyzed and elderly. The safe use, easiness, and comfort are an important factor that can directly affect the user’s social efficiency and quality of life. In this paper, the design, implementation, and test of a new low-cost hybrid wheelchair controller for quadriplegics…
Read More Human Robot Interaction for Hybrid Collision Avoidance System for Indoor Mobile Robots
In this paper, a novel approach for collision avoidance for indoor mobile robots based on human-robot interaction is realized. The main contribution of this work is a new technique for collision avoidance by engaging the human and the robot in generating new collision-free paths. In mobile robotics, collision avoidance is critical for the success of…
