User Interface and Navigation System for an Electric Vehicle for the Disabled

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to link a natural user interface and an autonomous navigation system to a conventional wheelchair with two control modalities: manual and automatic. It is taken into account that not all people have the same type or degree of disability, for this reason we seek to implement a user interface that involves different forms of user-machine interaction, with which the user can choose the manual mode that allows direct commands to control the movement of the chair and the automatic mode, which only needs the point or place where you need to go and through predefined trajectories, the autonomous navigation system will execute the necessary movements for the chair to follow the desired route.
