Assisted navigation for a powered wheelchair

The VAHM project aims to improve the control of powered wheelchairs by adding possibilities of autonomous mobility. The disabled person may indicate the goal to be reached, may alter the already undertaken trajectory or stop the mobile in case of emergency. A hybrid software architecture to achieve this is proposed. The possibilities offered by such a system are described from an example of application.<<ETX>>
