INFRARED NON-CONTACT HEAD SENSOR, FOR CONTROL OF WHEELCHAIR MOVEMENTS

BASIC PRINCIPLE

we present a new human-machine interface for controlling a wheelchair by head movements. The position of the head is determined by use of infrared sensors, with no parts attached to the head of the user. The placement of the infrared sensors are behind the head of the user, so that the field of view is not limited. The behaviour of the sensor and the generated commands are fully programable, so it can be adapted easily to other constrains or capabilities of potential users.

DESIGN OF AN AUTOMATIC PATH FINDING WHEELCHAIR WITH INTELLIGENT GUIDANCE SYSTEM

 The device described has been conceptualized such that once the wheelchair is given information regarding the starting and stopping point in a controlled facility, the wheelchair pre programmed information can efficiently construct a path towards its destination and automatically drive to that point from its present position while avoiding obstacles in its path This is achieved by means of sensors (IR and sonic) located at strategic points on the chair circuits that control the speed of the motors, and a set of microcontrollers programmed to execute the different functions of the wheelchair. The facility in which the wheelchair works has been fitted with a set of sensors that form the basis of the network which is used by the program governing the wheelchairs automated movement to provide guidance .
