Smart Wheelchair

The haptic feedback, which is natural in assistive devices intended for visually impaired persons, has been only recently explored for people with motor disability. The aim of this work is to study its potential, particularly for assistance in the driving of powered wheelchairs. After a review of the literature for the previous related work, we present the methodology and the implementation procedure of a haptic feedback control system on a prototype of a smart wheelchair. We will also describe the approaches utilized to determine the appropriate force feedback that will ensure a cooperative behaviour of the system, and we will detail the two haptic driving modes that were developed, namely the active and passive modes. Experiments on a real prototype were carried out to study the contribution of the method in powered wheelchair driving and to evaluate the interest of the force feedback on the control joystick of the wheelchair. They are discussed on the basis of performance measures.

Sense Of Touch

Force-feedback methanisms have been designed to simplify and enahance the human-vehicle interface. The increase in secondary controls within vehicle cockpits has created a desire for a simpler, more efficient human-vehicle interface. Haptic system, or systems that interact with the operator’s sense of touch, can be used to consolidate various controls into fever, haptic feedback control devices, so that information can be transmitted to the operator and the operator can change control settings without requiring the driver’s visual attention. In this paper an Electro-Rheological Fluid (ERF) based actuator and mechanisms are presented that provide haptic feedback. ERSs are fluids that change their viscosity in response to an electric field. Using the electrically controlled rheological properties of ERFs, haptic devices have been developed that can resist human operator forces in a controlled and tunable fashion. The design of an ERF-based actuator and its application to a haptic knob and haptic joystick is presented. The analytical model is given, analyses are performed, and experimental systems and data are presented for the actuator. Conceptual methods for the application to the haptic devices are presented.

The paper reviews the machine operators support technologies used in carrying out work tasks. The limitations of the current design solutions have been identified. The construction of control systems using haptic feedback was discussed and the research carried out on this technology was reviewed. The concept of hydraulic manipulator tool and its haptic feedback control system for monitoring loads during working movements is presented. The concept of the test stand for testing haptic feedback control systems and the preliminary experiment plan are presented.
