Powered Wheelchair Control : Human – Machine System Modelling

Abstract

The objective of this work is to model the pilot-vehicle system made up of a person with disability and of an electric wheelchair. This modelling must induce an objective analysis method of the pilot-wheelchair couple in order to help to personalize the parameters of the vehicle on the one hand and to evaluate the interest of new functionalities on the other hand. After a review of the literature, we detail some experimental results to illustrate our matter.
