Abstract

The paper presents the design concept of a smart wheelchair for people with special needs. The first part of the paper explains reasons for increasing attention in the world for this topic not only in a context of technical soundness, but enhancement of human-life conditions, too. In the second part of the paper, features of nowadays smart wheelchairs and problems of localization and mapping, which are the main problems in robotics in general, are described. The third part presents the details of the novel design of the smart wheelchair, its CAD model and sensor equipment that would be implemented. The idea is to make an advanced wheelchair which will give comfort to a user within the acceptable price range. Further work includes the development of the control system and wiring, the implementation of the obstacle avoidance algorithms, as well as project methodology for efficient customer- oriented wheelchair design and production.
