Modelling and control of a reconfigurable multipurpose wheelchair for elderly/disabled mobility

This research is embarking on development of modelling and designing control strategies for a multipurpose wheelchair as a mobile transporter for elderly and disabled people to move in confined and domestic environments independently. The research is aimed at helping people who have physical weaknes...
