Summary:碩士 === 國立中正大學 === 光機電整合工程所 === 96 === We developed a robotic walking support system with an omni-directional mobile base. Its objective is to assist elderly people in their daily activities and improve their qualities of life. Although a general wheelchair can support elderly people to move, but it shortens the time of excise for elderly people. Moreover, a walking assistant such as a cane increases burden when people want to change their directions. Therefore, we design an omni-directional assistant which is with both functions of the wheelchair and walking helper and equipped with the fuzzy speed adjustment by a micro-controller dsPIC33FJ128MC710. People can operate the omni-directional assistant to change direction or velocity by hands’ holding pressure on the sensory sticks. The interface of human-machine is like human-in-loop help the assistant accommodate the fuzzy speed adjustments to the interactions between users and the assistant.
