Concept of a Personal Mobility Vehicle for daily life

This paper describes the concept of a Personal Mobility Vehicle (PMV) for daily life. Although powered wheelchairs, which is one category of PMVs, already exist commercially, some capabilities of them are not adapted for a certain scenarios of our daily life. In this paper, we pick up the necessary features that are not performed enough by conventional wheelchairs and discuss how to solve them. We developed a brand new PMV, named RT-Mover PType WA, and show its primitive motions.
