Practical stabilization and tracking of a wheeled mobile robot with integral sliding mode controller

International audienceThis paper is dedicated to the robust stabilization and tracking problems for a wheeled mobile robot. After the mobile robot dynamics have been transformed into an advantageous form, a robust integral sliding mode controller is designed to promulgate a practical stabilization in spite of the uncertainties. The performance of the proposed controller is experimentally demonstrated on a real robot

SYSIASS – an intelligent powered wheelchair

This paper explains the motivations and the goals of the SYSIASS project. This project has three major ambitions: to design intelligent devices for both the assisted navigation of the powered wheelchairs and the secure communication of the data and to design multi-modality human machine interaction. Moreover, the challenge of the project is to take the needs of the users and the constraints that it implies into account at each stage of the project development. The devices developed during the project will be evaluated by the users through the clinical trials

Enhancing the Autonomy of Disabled Persons: Assistive Technologies Directed by User Feedback

Europe faces a major and growing healthcare problem due to increase in population, increasing longevity and an aging population with disability. Such dependent, elderly, disabled and vulnerable persons, are concerned since they wish to live at home as long as possible. This aspiration is also shared by national policies and communities across EU. To ensure the optimum care of dependent people, innovative solutions are encouraged to maintain independent life style. This paper outlines two projects, SYSIASS and COALAS, which aim to develop a set of technology based solutions to meet the needs and empower these people by enhancing mobility and communication
