Abstract

People with disabilities in general, and wheelchair users in particular, are one of the groups of people that may benefit more from Ambient Intelligent (AmI) Systems, enhancing their autonomy and quality of life. However, current wheelchairs are usually not equipped with devices capable of accessing services in AmI environments. In this paper, we describe how an electric wheelchair is equipped with an UPnP based module that allows the integration in AmI systems.
