Nonholonomic navigation and control of a wheeled chair

This paper presents the nonholonomic navigation and obstacle-avoidance control method for a developed wheeled chair. The nonholonomic navigation technology is based on SLAM, in addition, a new method of collision avoidance control is proposed for this latter. The method makes the wheeled chair move intelligently and avoid obstacle with more efficient and robust performance. Extensive experiment research is implemented to proof the effectiveness of the method we proposed.
