Evaluation of a Robotic Assistance Module Against Positive and Negative Obstacles for Driving Electric Wheelchair

The device that is the subject of this investigation is a robotic assistance module for driving a semi-autonomous electric wheelchair. This module is designed to accessorize the electric wheelchair to improve the safety conditions when driving an electric wheelchair, which on the one hand reduces the accident rate of wheelchair and on the other hand and facilitates the access to the wheelchair to people who cannot claim it without the use of a safety device of this type. The robotic assistance module is programmed to detect positive and negative obstacles.
