Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Novel Approach to Wheelchair Design and Operation Using Multi-Function ControllerJamal I. Al-NabulsiAn electric multi-function controlled wheelchair is designed and fully tested. This wheelchair is controlled by several physiological variables namely; voice, head movement, finger bending, breathing pressure and Electrooculography (EOG). The patient has the choice to use any of these variables to control the wheelchair. The voice command is recorded by a voice recognition module with its microphone, whereas, the head … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 16, Issue 7 · 25 Jul 2020 · 6,780 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleIMPLEMENTATION OF AUTONOMOUS NAVIGATION ALGORITHMS ON TWO-WHEELED GROUND MOBILE ROBOTStephen Armah, Sun Yi, Taher Abu-LebdehThis study presents an effective navigation architecture that combines ’go-to-goal’, ’avoid-obstacle’ and ’follow-wall’ controllers into a full navigation system. A MATLAB robot simulator is used to implement this navigation control algorithm. The robot in the simulator moves to a goal in the presence of convex and non-convex obstacles. Experiments are carried out using a ground mobile robot, Dr Robot X80SV, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 7 Apr 2014 · 9,438 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAble-Bodied Individuals’ Initial Interaction Decisions Concerning a Partner in a WheelchairMelissa Ann Tafoya, Paul MongeauEstablishing and maintaining personal relationships is a quintessential part of the human experience, with a few notable exceptions, persons with disabilities have been virtually ignored by relationships scholars. This study seeks to advance disability research by examining how a wheelchair influences able-bodied participant’s perceptions of initial interactions. Using various scenarios, we asked students how they would react if they were … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 4 Dec 2018 · 7,771 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMulti-Controlled Wheelchair for Upper Extremities DisabilityChadi F. RimanPeople with motor disabilities are trying to be more autonomous by using an electric wheelchair with a conventional joystick control. However, a problem arises when these people are suffering from upper extremities disability such as tetraplegia. Several methods were implemented such as voice control, chin control, eye-blink, sip-and-puff, but each has its advantages and disadvantages. Furthermore, in some situations a … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 3 Dec 2018 · 7,247 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleStructural-Topological Synthesis of Planar Mechanisms with Rods and WheelsNicolae Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Antonio Apicella, Relly Victoria V. PetrescuToday, robots are increasingly present in the machine building industry, sometimes even in some sections to replace workers altogether, due to the high quality of their work, repetitive, without stopping or pausing, without any manufacturing and assembly scuffs. Additionally, robots do not get sick, do not require medical leave or rest, work faster and better than humans and also support … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 25 Jun 2018 · 6,644 accessesView PDFCite
