The VAHM project: a cooperation between an autonomous mobile platform and a disabled person

The VAHM project constitutes a research and development project aimed at automating an electric wheelchair for the disabled. The aim consists in delegating the control of some low-level functionalities to the wheelchair during the motion in order to allow the person to be free of the driving constraints that may be painful for some handicapped persons. The authors describe the hardware and software structure chosen to perform the intelligent mobility functions in association with a disabled person.<<ETX>>
