Ensuring safe obstacle avoidance in a shared-control system
Thomas Röfer, Axel Lankenau · 2003
This paper describes the Bremen Autonomous Wheelchair project. It shows that common static fire strategies for ultrasonic sensors are inherently unsafe and proposes a new adaptive fire strategy which delivers a complete coverage of the environment of the robot. Furthermore, a new obstacle avoidance approach for shared-control robotic systems is described in detail.
