Effective Shared Control in Cooperative Mobility Aids
Glenn Wasson, James P. Gunderson, Sean Graves, Robin Allen Felder · 2001
This paper presents preliminary work on the design of control systems for pedestrian mobility aids for the elderly. The elderly are often restricted in their mobility and must rely on canes, walkers and wheelchairs for locomotion. Restrictions in mobility lead to a loss of independence and autonomy, as well as a decrease in muscular strength.
