Obstacle Avoidance Method for Electric Wheelchairs Based on a Multi-Layered Non-Contact Impedance Model

This paper proposes an obstacle avoidance method based on a multi-layered non-contact impedance model for control of the biosignal-based electric wheelchair. The proposed system can calculate a virtual repulsive force before the collision by multi-layered impedance fields covered around it. This sys...
